Unity In The Midst Of Diversity

16 Or if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," would it be any less a part of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were hearing? If all were hearing, where were smelling? 18 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body as it has pleased him.
