1 Corinthians 12:15
_ _ The humbler members ought not to disparage themselves, or to be disparaged by others more noble (1 Corinthians 12:21, 1 Corinthians 12:22).
_ _ foot ... hand — The humble speaks of the more honorable member which most nearly resembles itself: so the “ear” of the “eye” (the nobler and more commanding member, Numbers 10:31), (1 Corinthians 12:16). As in life each compares himself with those whom he approaches nearest in gifts, not those far superior. The foot and hand represent men of active life; the ear and eye, those of contemplative life. |
1 Corinthians 12:15
The foot is elegantly introduced as speaking of the hand; the ear, of the eye; each, of a part that has some resemblance to it. So among men each is apt to compare himself with those whose gifts some way resemble his own, rather than with those who are at a distance, either above or beneath him. Is it therefore not of the body — Is the inference good? Perhaps the foot may represent private Christians; the hand, officers in the church; the eye, teachers; the ear, hearers. |
1 Corinthians 12:15
(10) If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
(10) Now he builds his doctrine upon the foundations which he has laid: and first of all he continues in his purposed similitude, and afterward he goes to the matter plainly and simply. And first of all he speaks unto those who would have separated themselves from those whom they envied, because they had not such excellent gifts as they. Now this is, he says, as if the foot should say it were not of the body, because it is not the hand, or the ear, because it is not the eye. Therefore all parts ought rather to defend the unity of the body, being coupled together to serve one another. |
Judges 9:8- 15 The trees went forth [ on a time] to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us. ... And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, [ then] come [ and] put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
2 Kings 14:9 And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that [ was] in Lebanon sent to the cedar that [ was] in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that [ was] in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
