1 Corinthians 12:14-21

NAS

NIV

14 For the body is not one member, but many.
14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.
15 If the foot says, "Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body," it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.
15 Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body.
16 And if the ear says, "Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," it is not for this reason any the 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 stop being part of the body.
17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?
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?
18 But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired.
18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be.
19 If they were all one member, where would the body be?
19 If they were all one part, where would the body be?
20 But now there are many members, but one body.
20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you"; or again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”
