1 Corinthians 12:17
_ _ Superior as the eye is, it would not do if it were the sole member to the exclusion of the rest. |
1 Corinthians 12:17
(11) If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling?
(11) Again speaking to them, he shows them that if that should come to pass which they desire, that is, that all should be equal one to another, there would follow a destruction of the whole body, indeed and of themselves. For it could not be a body unless it were made of many members knit together, and different from one another. And that no man might find fault with this division as unequal, he adds that God himself has joined all these together. Therefore all must remain joined together, that the body may remain in safety. |
