Paul is explaining why Christians should not think they are better than other people.

## just as we have many members in one body ##

Paul compares all the believers in Christ to the different parts of the body. This emphasizes that although believers may serve Christ in different ways, each person belongs to Christ and serves in an important way. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

such things as eyes, stomachs, and hands

## individually members of each other ##

"each believer is a member of every other believer's body." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]]) Alternate translation: "and each believer is joined together with all other believers."
