SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:18

Mas ahora Dios ha colocado los miembros cada uno de ellos por sí en el cuerpo, como quiso.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 18. But now hath
God set the members , etc.] The members of a natural body, as they are all made and fashioned by God in the form they be, so they are each of them set by him in the place they are: everyone of them in the body as it hath pleased him ; according to his sovereign will, without consulting any; and each stands in the best situation and position they could be put, and for the greatest service and usefulness to the whole: so God, and not man, hath set every member in the mystical body, the church, in such a place and part of it, as he himself thought fit; some in a higher, others in a lower station, but all for the good of the body; and therefore each member ought to be content with his place, gift, and usefulness, be they what they will; since it is the wise counsel and sovereign pleasure of God, who works all things after the counsel of his own will, that so it should be.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 12-26 -
Christ and his church form one body, as Head and members. Christian become members of this body by baptism. The outward rite is of Divin institution; it is a sign of the new birth, and is called therefore the washing of regeneration, Tit 3:5. But it is by the Spirit, only by the renewing of the Holy Ghost, that we are made members of Christ's body And by communion with Christ at the Lord's supper, we are strengthened not by drinking the wine, but by drinking into one Spirit. Each membe has its form, place, and use. The meanest makes a part of the body There must be a distinction of members in the body. So Christ's member have different powers and different places. We should do the duties of our own place, and not murmur, or quarrel with others. All the member of the body are useful and necessary to each other. Nor is there member of the body of Christ, but may and ought to be useful to fellow-members. As in the natural body of man, the members should be closely united by the strongest bonds of love; the good of the whol should be the object of all. All Christians are dependent one upo another; each is to expect and receive help from the rest. Let us the have more of the spirit of union in our religion.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

18. Set (eqeto). See on
John xv. 16, where the same word is used by Christ of appointing His followers.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

12:18 {But now} (nun de). But as things are, in contrast to that absurdity. {Hath
God set} (ho qeos eqeto). Second aorist middle indicative. God did it and of himself. {Even as it pleased him} (kaqws eqelesen). Why challenge God's will? Cf. #Ro 9:20.
