whereas our presentable members have no such need. Instead, God has so arranged the body (sōma | σῶμα | acc sg neut), giving greater honor to the member that lacked it,
and those members of the body (sōmatos | σώματος | gen sg neut) we consider less honorable we clothe with greater honor, and our unpresentable members are treated with greater modesty,
If the whole body (sōma | σῶμα | nom sg neut) were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?
And if the ear should say, “Since I am not an eye, I am not part of the body,” (sōmatos | σώματος | gen sg neut) it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body (sōmatos | σώματος | gen sg neut).
