As it is, there are many parts, but there’s only one body.
So the body is not made up of just one part. It has many parts.
The body has many parts, but all of its many parts make up that one body. It’s the same with Christ.
In the same way, we are all part of one body in Christ, even though there are many of us. And each part of the body belongs to all the other parts.
If all the parts were the same, how could there be a body?
The eye can’t say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” The head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”
