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 many 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, 15-16). The point is that each member functions 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.
