14 I say again, the body is not all one part, but has many parts.
15 Perhaps the foot says, I am not the hand, so I do not belong to the body. But it is still a part of the body.
16 Perhaps the ear says, I am not the eye, so I do not belong to the body. But it is still a part of the body.
17 If all of the body were an eye, how could we hear? If all the body were an ear, how could we smell?
18 The way it is now, God has put each part in the body in the place he wanted it.
19 If they were all one part, how could it be a body?
20 The way it is now, there are many parts, but it is one body.
