1 Corinthians 12:14-18 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

14. So the body is not one part but many.

15. If the foot should say, “Because I’m not a hand, I don’t belong to the body,” in spite of this it still belongs to the body.

16. And if the ear should say, “Because I’m not an eye, I don’t belong to the body,” in spite of this it still belongs to 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 sense of smell be?

18. But now God has placed each one of the parts in one body just as He wanted.
