And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of you: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 12:21 Go To 1 Corinthians 12
John Chrysostom
AD 407
The greater gifts cannot do without the lesser ones, because if even the lesser ones are harmed, the body will not function properly. What is lower than the foot? Or what is more honorable or necessary than the head? But the head, however important it is, is not selfsufficient, nor can it do everything by itself. If that were so, there would be no need to have feet.
