And if the ear said, “I’m not an eye, so I don’t belong to the body,” that wouldn’t make it not part of the body anymore.
By the grace that has been given to me, I say to every one of you, don’t think of yourself more highly than you should. Have a reasonable view of yourself, based on the faith God has given to each of you.
Don’t try to get ahead of others, and don’t think you’re better than they are. Instead, be humble and honor others more than yourselves.
It’s just the opposite! The parts of the body that seem to be weaker are the ones we can’t do without.
Love one another deeply. Honor one another more than yourselves.
If the foot said, “I’m not a hand, so I don’t belong to the body,” that wouldn’t make it not part of the body anymore.
If the whole body were an eye, how could it hear? If the whole body were an ear, how could it smell?
