The Body

The human body has many parts
But the many parts make up one whole body
The eye can never say to the hand: I don't need you
The head can't say to the feet, I don't need you
If the whole body were an eye, how would you hear?
Or if your whole body were an ear, how would you smell anything?
How strange a body would be if it had only one part?

If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it
And if one part is of it, all parts are glad
If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it
And if one part is honored, all the parts are glad
All of you together are Christ's body and each of you is a part of it
