1 Cor 11 & 12 - There are different members in the body who are appointed to different positions.

1 Cor 12:11
But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.

Faithfulness, healing, miracles, prophesying (professing Truth), distinguishing spirits, speaking in kinds of tongues, and interpreting tongues are all vastly different, but they all come from the same Elohim. I do not see that these things have passed away. But I also do not see that Elohim hands these supernatural things out indiscriminately. It all must be for a purpose. And it must be His purpose.

1 Cor 12:12
For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.

1 Cor 12:13
For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

It appears that Paul is trying to settle disagreements among the alleged "brethren." So far, we have seen that some wanted to claim they were of Apollos, some of Paul, and some of Cephas, etc.. We have seen that they have gross immorality among them, even incest. They are trying to sue each other in pagan courts. The problems with these people were many. Now he is addressing the envy they are exhibiting toward one another in the assembly. They were envious of different spiritual abilities some had and other did not possess..

1 Cor 12:14
For the body is not one member, but many.

1 Cor 12:15
If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body," it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.

1 Cor 12:16
And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.

1 Cor 12:17
If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?

Paul is combining sarcasm with logic in order to make his point. Modern Christianity tries to make this section of Scripture to be an argument over duties in the church. They attempt to shoehorn this section to mean, "We cannot all sing in the choir. We cannot all teach. But as one body, we can all give our tithes to Reverend Lovejoy…"The people were apparently upset because some were genuinely performing miraculous feats, and some were discerning the Word of Truth, while others were just there... in faithfulness.

1 Cor 12:18
But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired.

1 Cor 12:19
And if they were all one member, where would the body be?

1 Cor 12:20
But now there are many members, but one body.

1 Cor 12:21
And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you"; or again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."

We are all members of the assembly. The function of each individual is a part of the plan of Elohim that we must all trust in. The subject of this section is not for people to take "spiritual gifts tests" and find out who can sing, who can teach, who can manage church money, and that we can all tithe into the collection plate. Paul is saying that envy is unwarranted. We all serve a purpose for Elohim if we are truly His....

1 Cor 12:22
On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;

1 Cor 12:23
and those members of the body, which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our unseemly members come to have more abundant seemliness,

The alleged less honorable parts of the assembly are the ones who should receive the honor. Paul is trying to give honor to those who are overlooked and upset about it.

1 Cor 12:24
whereas our seemly members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked,

1 Cor 12:25
that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.

1 Cor 12:26
And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

Those in presentable positions in the assembly do not need certain or special honor. If anyone in the assembly is honored, the whole assembly should rejoice in it.

1 Cor 12:27
Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it.

1 Cor 12:28
And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues.

There are different members in the body who are appointed by Elohim to different positions.
