Berean Standard Bible

“If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.”

1 Corinthians 12:26

Save as image

Study note

Paul compares the church to a human body with many parts, answering a Corinthian community where gifts had become a source of pride and rivalry. This verse falls near the end of the analogy, after he has insisted that no part can dismiss another.
