1 Corinthians 12:18

Read in context

1 Corinthians 12:16–20 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

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 in fact, God has arranged the members of the body, every one of them, according to His design.

19 If they were all one part, where would the body be?

20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
