Each Member Functions to Serve the Body

Each Member Functions to Serve the Body

Romans 12:3

Excerpt
As Paul explained, a parallelism exists between a believer’s physical body which has parts with differing functions and the community of believers in Christ as a spiritual body (cf. 1 Cor.12:12-27; Eph. 4:11-12, Eph. 15-16). The point is that each memberfunctions to serve the body, not the body to serve the members. The diversity of the many accompanies the unity of the body. Therefore it is important to think soundly about oneself and to evaluate properly God’s gifts and their uses. More

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
