1 Corinthians 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members in particular. "A member of Christ." Now, what "member" will you be? If you are "a member of Christ," you must do the member's part. If you say, "I will be like the hand," what will you do? You must work usefully with your hand, you must work for God, you must give to God. Or, with your feet, you must run with messages. Be very useful. Think, "Perhaps I shall be a missionary, with my feet beautiful on the mountains, to the heathen. I will do it for Christ's sake." Or, "I will always listen to good things." Be the ear. Or, with the eye, look at the beautiful things from heaven. Or, like the tongue, speak of God, of goodness, and of happiness. Then you are a useful "member of Christ." Remember, if you have got Christ in your heart, then you are "a member" indeed. (J. Vaughan, M.A.) Parallel Verses KJV: Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.WEB: Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. |
