1 Corinthians 12
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
14 Ref For the body is not one part, but a number of parts.
15 Ref If the foot says, Because I am not the hand, I am not a part of the body; it is no less a part of the body.
16 Ref And if the ear says, Because I am not the eye, I am not a part of the body; it is a part of the body all the same.
17 Ref If all the body was an eye, where would be the hearing? if all was hearing, where would be the smelling?
18 Ref But now God has put every one of the parts in the body as it was pleasing to him.
19 And if they were all one part, where would the body be?
20 Ref But now they are all different parts, but one body.
21 Ref And the eye may not say to the hand, I have no need of you: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

14 Ref For the body is not one member, but many.
15 Ref If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body.
16 Ref And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body.
17 Ref If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
18 Ref But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him.
19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
