If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?
And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”
Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?
The hearing ear and the seeing eye, The Lord has made them both.
He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
(Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he spoke thus: “Come, let us go to the seer”; for he who is now called a prophet was formerly called a seer.)
And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body?
But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.
