14 For the body is not made up of one member but of many.

15 If the foot should say, »Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,« it would not for that reason be any less a part of the body.

16 And if the ear should say, »Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,« it would not for that reason be any less a part of the body.

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

18 But now God has arranged the members in the body, each one of them, just as he desired.

19 If they were all one member, where would the body be?

20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
