The concept of members is used extensively in Scripture to illustrate the unity and diversity within the body of Christ, the Church, as well as to discuss the moral and ethical responsibilities of individual believers. Physical Body Members The Bible frequently uses the human body as a metaphor to convey spiritual truths. In the Old Testament, the term "member" can refer to various parts of the body, emphasizing the physical and functional aspects of human anatomy. For example, in <a href="/leviticus/21-20.htm">Leviticus 21:20</a>, certain physical defects in the members of the body disqualify a priest from offering sacrifices. Spiritual Body Members In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul extensively develops the metaphor of the body and its members to describe the Church. In <a href="/1_corinthians/12-12.htm">1 Corinthians 12:12-27</a>, Paul explains that just as a body is one unit made up of many members, so is the body of Christ. Each member has a unique role and function, contributing to the overall health and mission of the Church. Paul writes, "For just as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also is Christ" (<a href="/1_corinthians/12-12.htm">1 Corinthians 12:12</a>). Paul further elaborates on this metaphor in <a href="/romans/12-4.htm">Romans 12:4-5</a>, stating, "For just as each of us has one body with many members, and not all members have the same function, so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another" . This passage underscores the interdependence and unity among believers, highlighting that each member is essential to the functioning of the whole. Moral and Ethical Implications The concept of members also carries moral and ethical implications. In <a href="/romans/6-13.htm">Romans 6:13</a>, Paul exhorts believers not to offer any part of themselves to sin as instruments of wickedness, but rather to offer themselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and to offer every part of themselves to Him as instruments of righteousness. This call to holiness emphasizes the responsibility of believers to use their bodies and their members in ways that honor God. In <a href="/colossians/3-5.htm">Colossians 3:5</a>, Paul instructs believers to "put to death, therefore, the components of your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry" . Here, the term "components" can be understood as members, indicating the need to subdue sinful inclinations and live in accordance with the Spirit. Unity and Diversity The metaphor of the body and its members also highlights the diversity of gifts and functions within the Church. In <a href="/ephesians/4-11.htm">Ephesians 4:11-13</a>, Paul describes how Christ gave different gifts to the members of His body to equip the saints for the work of ministry and to build up the body of Christ. This diversity is not a cause for division but a means to achieve unity and maturity in faith. Conclusion The biblical concept of "member" serves as a powerful illustration of the interconnectedness and mutual dependence of believers within the body of Christ. It calls for a recognition of the unique roles and responsibilities each member holds, urging believers to live in holiness and unity for the glory of God.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

It therefore denotes any feature or part of the body. "So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things" (<a href="/james/3-5.htm">James 3:5</a>). "The members" is equivalent with "the body" (which see; compare <a href="/psalms/139-16.htm">Psalm 139:16</a> the King James Version). The members are not self-governing, but execute the orders of the mind, obeying either the lower nature in the commission of sin or iniquity, unrighteousness and uncleanness (<a href="/romans/6-13.htm">Romans 6:13, 19</a>), or following the higher nature, the Divine impulses in the fulfilling of the law of Christ (6:19). By nature, the "law in my members" (<a href="/romans/7-23.htm">Romans 7:23</a>) is opposed to the better nature (<a href="/james/4-1.htm">James 4:1</a>) until by "regeneration" (which see) this condition is changed, when the Spirit of Christ becomes the governing power, using our members, i.e. all our abilities, in the execution of His plans. This is not done while we remain passive, but only when we have actively presented or yielded our members to His service (<a href="/romans/6-19.htm">Romans 6:19</a>). Therefore our bodies must not be desecrated by baser uses (<a href="/1_corinthians/6-15.htm">1 Corinthians 6:15, 19, 20</a>). The Lord Jesus illustrates the severe discipline which is needed to subdue the members of even the regenerate to perfect submission under the higher law of the Spirit by the simile of the right eye, which is to be plucked out, and the right hand, which is to be cut off (<a href="/matthew/5-29.htm">Matthew 5:29, 30</a>), and Paul speaks of putting to death (the King James Version "mortifying") the "members which are upon the earth" (<a href="/colossians/3-5.htm">Colossians 3:5</a>). It is the difference in character and gifts of individual Christians which leads Paul to speak of the variety of members, which, though of manifold functions, are equally important to the completeness of the body. It is thus in the manifold variety of the body of Christ (<a href="/1_corinthians/12-12.htm">1 Corinthians 12:12-27</a> <a href="/ephesians/4-16.htm">Ephesians 4:16</a>), and Christians being members of Christ, who is the head (<a href="/ephesians/1-22.htm">Ephesians 1:22</a>; <a href="/ephesians/4-15.htm">Ephesians 4:15</a>; <a href="/ephesians/5-23.htm">Ephesians 5:23</a>), are members one of another (<a href="/romans/12-5.htm">Romans 12:5</a> <a href="/ephesians/4-25.htm">Ephesians 4:25</a>). In <a href="/deuteronomy/23-1.htm">Deuteronomy 23:1</a> the Israelite Law against emasculation is referred to, and a religious disability is stated for the eunuch. Heathen Semites and other neighbors of Israel often castrated for religious purposes in the temple service of various divinities and for functions in princely palaces and harems. Heathen monarchs almost invariably had large numbers of these unfortunates, who frequently attained to positions of high power and responsibility. Herodotus states their frequent occurrence among the Persians (Hist. vi.32), and in the light of <a href="/2_kings/20-18.htm">2 Kings 20:18</a> and <a href="/daniel/1-3.htm">Daniel 1:3</a> it appears as not impossible that Daniel and his friends belonged to this class. In later years their existence is certain in Israel (<a href="/1_samuel/8-15.htm">1 Samuel 8:15</a> the Revised Version margin; <a href="/jeremiah/38-7.htm">Jeremiah 38:7</a> <a href="/matthew/19-12.htm">Matthew 19:12</a>).
