Many Members, One Body

1 Corinthians 12:14-20 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 1 Corinthians 12 in context

Scripture Focus

14For the body is not one member, but many.
15If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
16And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
17If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
18But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
19And if they were all one member, where were the body?
20But now are they many members, yet but one body.
1 Corinthians 12:14-20

Biblical Context

Paul explains that the body consists of many parts; true unity arises when each part recognizes its essential place within the whole.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that in this vision, the body is not a jumble of isolated parts but a field of consciousness stirred by the living I AM. When the foot says, I am not the hand, you may think you are separate from the whole, yet the same life assigns each member its place. The lesson is not about bones or sinews but about your inner faculties—memory, intuition, will, feeling—being different functions of one divine mind. To identify with lack is to deny the harmony that already exists within you. God has set every member in the body as it pleased Him, so that your total being may act as one living form. Realize that unity arises through recognizing difference as the method by which consciousness becomes complete; you do not cancel parts, you invite their cooperation. To practice this, assume that all the faculties you need are present now, properly ordered, and aligned under your I AM presence. See your inner body alive in you—varied, yet one, and each part affirming, I belong and I serve the whole.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume all needed faculties are already present within you; feel them aligning as one inner body. Revise any sense of lack by affirming, I am complete, and I belong to the whole.
