Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body.

If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.

If the foot says, “I am not a part of the body because I am not a hand,” that does not make it any less a part of the body.

If the foot should say, “Because I’m not a hand, I don’t belong to the body,” it is not for that reason any less a part of the body.

If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body?

I want you to think about how all this makes you more significant, not less. A body isn’t just a single part blown up into something huge. It’s all the different-but-similar parts arranged and functioning together. If Foot said, “I’m not elegant like Hand, embellished with rings; I guess I don’t belong to this body,” would that make it so? If Ear said, “I’m not beautiful like Eye, transparent and expressive; I don’t deserve a place on the head,” would you want to remove it from the body? If the body was all eye, how could it hear? If all ear, how could it smell? As it is, we see that God has carefully placed each part of the body right where he wanted it.

If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any less a part of the body.

If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” is it not on the contrary still a part of the body?

If the foot says, “Since I am not a hand, I am not part of the body,” it does not lose its membership in the body because of that.
