1 Corinthians 12:16-17

KJV

NIV

16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not 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 stop being part of the body.
17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
