New International Version NIV
15 If the foot would say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any 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 would say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any 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 body 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 as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose.
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 all were a single member, where would the body be?
19
If they were all one part, where would the body be?
20 As it is, there are many members, yet one body.
20
As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
