16And if the ear should 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.
An ear might think that its function of hearing is less important than the eye’s function of sight. Yet such thinking is false. For the body to function well, every body part is needed. The same is true of the church and its members.
16 And if the ear should 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.
