12:12-31 The church is like a body (see 12:27) composed of many different parts, each with its own function as determined by God (see 12:11, 18, 28; Rom 12:4-5).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
εἰ & ἦν τὰ πάντα ἓν μέλος, ποῦ
if & was the_‹things› all one member where_‹is›
Here Paul is using a hypothetical situation to teach the Corinthians. He wants them to imagine that all the body parts were just one member, that is, one kind of body part. He uses this hypothetical situation because it is absurd for all body parts to be one member. Use a natural way in your language to introduce a hypothetical situation. Alternate translation: “suppose they were all one member; where”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὰ & ἓν μέλος
the_‹things› & one member
Here, one member refers to one kind of member. In other words, it does not indicate that there is only one body part (one arm, for example). Rather, it indicates that all the body parts are of one type (as if all the ears, legs, and other body parts were all arms). If it would be helpful in your language, you could express one member by clarifying that Paul has in mind many members that are of one kind. Alternate translation: “one kind of member” or “one type of member”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
ποῦ τὸ σῶμα?
where_‹is› the body
Paul does not ask this question because he is looking for information about where the body is. Rather, he asks it to involve the Corinthians in what he is arguing. The question assumes that the answer is “nowhere.” In other words, a body that is made up of only one member is not a body at all. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this question with a strong negation. Alternate translation: “there would be no body!” or “the body would certainly not exist.”
