1 Corinthians 12:14-21 ▼

14 For the body does not consist of only one part, but of many.

15 If the foot says, |Since I'm not a hand, I'm not part of the body,| that does not make it any less a part of the body, does it?

16 And if the ear says, |Since I'm not an eye, I'm not part of the body,| that does not make it any less a part of the body, does it?

17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?

18 But now God has arranged the parts, every one of them, in the body according to his plan.

19 Now if all of it were one part, there wouldn't be a body, would there?

20 So there are many parts, but one body.

21 The eye cannot say to the hand, |I don't need you,| or the head to the feet, |I don't need you.|
