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?
