ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 12 v16

NONE UNNEEDED. AMBROSIASTER: Paul is saying that the person who is slightly inferior should not for that reason think that he is unnecessary to the body. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

ABSURD ENVY. CHRYSOSTOM: Note that Paul couples the foot with the hand, which is mounted a little above it, and the ear with the eye likewise. This is because we are prone to envy not those who are far above us but those who are only a little bit above. HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 30.3.
