For as it is with the human body, which is a whole thing although it has many different parts - all the parts make up one body - so it is with the body of Christ. … The body consists not of one member, but of many. And if the foot were to say, “I’m not a hand - so I don’t belong,” it doesn’t belong to the body any less. Or if the ear said, “I’m not an eye and so I can’t belong to the body,” it would not stop being part of the body. If the whole body were an eye how would it hear? If the whole body were an ear, how could it smell?
As it is, God has put all the different parts into the body just as he chose. If they were all the same, how could it be a whole body? As it is, the parts are many, yet the body is one.
But for the love of Christ, don’t be another asshole. The body of Christ has enough of those already.
