‘Forever Being Reformed’
Today’s topic is taken
from: 1 Corinthians 12:12-28 (ESVUK):
One Body with Many Members
12 For just as (A)the body is one and has many members,
and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, (B)so it is with Christ. 13 For
(C)in one Spirit we were all baptized into
one body—(D)Jews or Greeks, slaves[a] or free—and (E)all were made to drink of one Spirit.
14 For the body does not consist of one member but of
many. 15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do
not belong to the body”, that would not make it any less a part of the body. 16 And
if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body”,
that would not make it any less a part of the body. 17 If the
whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body
were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? 18 But as it
is, (F)God arranged the members in the body,
each one of them, (G)as he chose. 19 If all
were a single member, where would the body be? 20 As it is,
there are many parts,[b] yet one body.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of
you”, nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 On
the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and
on those parts of the body that we think less honourable we bestow the greater
honour, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, 24 which
our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body,
giving greater honour to the part that lacked it, 25 that there
may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for
one another. 26 If one member suffers, all suffer together; if
one member is honoured, (H)all rejoice together.
27 Now (I)you are the body of Christ and
individually (J)members of it. 28 And (K)God has appointed in the church first (L)apostles, second (M)prophets, third teachers, then (N)miracles, then (O)gifts of healing, (P)helping, (Q)administrating, and (R)various kinds of tongues.
