Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) In Christ.--Christ is the unifying principle in the Church, just as the personality or will is the unifying principle in man.Every one.--A somewhat peculiar phrase in the Greek, not found in this form in classical writers, meaning "as individuals."Members one of another.--Strictly speaking, the members are called members in their relation to the body, and not in their relation to each other. We should say, rather, "fellow-members with one another."Parallel Commentaries ...Greeksoοὕτως (houtōs)AdverbStrong's 3779: Thus, so, in this manner.
