1 Corinthians 12:17

Tree of Life Version

If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?

See the chapter Copy

He who planted the ear, does He not hear? He who formed the eye, does He not see?

Ears that hear and eyes that see— Adonai has made them both.

And if the ear says, “Since I’m not an eye, I’m not part of the body,” is it for this reason any less part of the body?

But now God has placed the parts—each one of them—in the body just as He desired.

The eye cannot tell the hand, “I don’t need you!” or in turn the head to the feet, “I don’t need you!”

All are not emissaries, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All do not work miracles, do they?

(Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he said, “Come, let’s go to the seer”—for today’s prophet was formerly called a seer.)
