And if the ear shall say: Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body, is it, for this reason, no part of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But now God has placed the members, each of them, in the body, as it has pleased him. And if they were all one member, where were the body? But now there are many members, but one body. The eye can not say to the hand: I have no need of you; or again, the head to the feet: I have no need of you.

But God has so arranged the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which is deficient, that there may be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same anxious care, one for another; and if one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
