ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને પહેલો પત્ર ૧૨:૧૬
જો કાન કહે કે, હું આંખ નથી માટે હું શરીરનો નથી, તો શું તેથી તે શરીરનો નથી?
हिन्दी1 कुरिन्थियों १२:१६
और यदि कान कहे, “मैं आँख नहीं, इसलिए देह का नहीं,” तो क्या वह इस कारण देह का नहीं?

In context

14For the body is not one member, but many.

15If the foot would say, “Because I’m not the hand, I’m not part of the body,” it is not therefore not part of the body.

16If the ear would say, “Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of the body,” it’s not therefore not part of the body.

17If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?

18But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.
