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
Jerome
AD 420
The church has real eyes: its teachers and leaders who see in sacred Scripture the mysteries of God… It also has hands, effective persons who are not eyes but hands. Do they plumb the mysteries of sacred Scripture? No, but they are powerful in works. The church has feet: those who make official journeys of all kinds. The foot runs that the hand may find the work it is to do. The eye does not scorn the hand, nor do these three scorn the belly as if it were idle and unemployed.
