But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body." 1 Corinthians 12:18-20 (NIV, 2011)

Evaluate the following questions and comments based on the 1 Corinthians 12 passage above:

• How does internalizing our inadequacies have an impact on how we compare ourselves with others?   

•  Agree/Disagree: Comparison makes us incomplete. Explain your answer.
 
• Agree/Disagree: Comparison makes us compete.  Explain your answer.

 

 Apply the passage:  1 Corinthians 12:18-20: "But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body."

 

What is God’s intention for us – compete or collaborate?
