14 Ainsi le corps n’est pas un seul membre, mais il est formé de plusieurs membres.

15 Si le pied disait: Parce que je ne suis pas une main, je ne suis pas du corps, ne serait-il pas du corps pour cela?

16 Et si l’oreille disait: Parce que je ne suis pas un œil, je ne suis pas du corps, ne serait-elle pas du corps pour cela?

17 Si tout le corps était œil, où serait l’ouïe? S’il était tout ouïe, où serait l’odorat?

18 Maintenant Dieu a placé chacun des membres dans le corps comme il a voulu.
