1 Corinthians 12:14-21 ▼

14 for also the body is not one member, but many.

15 If the foot may say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it not, because of this, not of the body?

16 And if the ear may say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it not, because of this, not of the body?

17 If the whole body [were] an eye, where the hearing? If the whole hearing, where the smelling?

18 And now, God set the members, each one of them in the body, according as He willed,

19 and if all were one member, where [is] the body?

20 And now, indeed, [are] many members, but one body;

21 and an eye is not able to say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”
