Verse 18
Paul again stressed God’s sovereignty in placing each member in the body as He has chosen in this verse. We need to discover how God has gifted us and to become as effective as possible where He has placed us. We should concentrate on using the abilities we have received rather than longing to be different or insisting on doing things that God has not gifted us to do (cf. 1 Corinthians 7:26-27).
"Whenever we begin to think about our own importance in the Christian Church, the possibility of really Christian work is gone." [Note: Barclay, The Letters . . ., p. 127.]
