1 Corinthians 12:16

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
If 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.
World English Bible (WEB)
And{G2532} if{G1437} the ear{G3775} shall say{G2036}{(G5632)}, Because{G3754} I am{G1510}{(G5748)} not{G3756} the eye{G3788}, I am{G1510}{(G5748)} not{G3756} of{G1537} the body{G4983}; is{G2076}{(G5748)} it therefore{G3756}{G3844}{G5124} not{G3756} of{G1537} the body{G4983}?
Strong's King James
(16) Perhaps the ear says, "Because I'm not an eye, I'm not of the body," is it by this, not of the body? No!
The F.O.G*
[16] If your ear says, "Because I'm not an eye, I don't belong," that doesn't exclude it from the body. Every part has its purpose.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and if the ear may say, ‘Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body;’ it is not, because of this, not of the body?
Young's Literal Translation
