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

15 Were the foot to say, »Because I am not a hand I am not a part of the body,« that would not make it any the less a part of the body.

16 Or were the ear to say, »Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,« that would not make it any the less a part of the body.

17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the nostrils be?

18 But, as a matter of fact, God has arranged the parts in the body –every one of them– as He has seen fit.

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

20 But, as a matter of fact, there are many parts and but one body.
