27

Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

EXPLANATION

Verse 27. Members of member. [2] The sense seems to be, you are members of the particular Church of Corinth, which is only a part or member of the whole body of the Christian Catholic Church. This is agreeable to the common reading in the Greek, where it is said, you are members of a part. See Saint John Chrysostom hom. xxxii. Witham.
