If the ear would say, “Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of the body,”
it’s not therefore not part of the body.
If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be?
If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?
But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.
If they were all one member, where would the body be?
But now they are many members, but one body.
The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,”
or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.”
