1 Corinthians Chapter 12, Verse 19
From BibleWiki
19: ει δε ην τα παντα εν μελος που το σωμα
19: And if they were all one member, where were the body?
19: And if they all were one member, where would be the body?
And if all were one member. If there were nothing but an eye, an ear, or a limb, there would be no body. The idea which this seems intended to illustrate is, that if there was not variety of talent and endowment in the church, the church could not itself exist. If, for example, there were nothing but apostles, or prophets, or teachers; if there were none but those who spoke with tongues or could interpret them, the church could not exist. A variety of talents and attainments in their proper places is as useful as are the various members of the human body.
