“For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:”
For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function — the organic metaphor of the body (sōma) with many members (melē) establishes that unity does not require uniformity. Function (ergon) differs across members, yet all belong to one soma. This prepares for the charismata (gifts, grace-gifts) enumeration.
