For the body is not one member, but many.

If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:

There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.

For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
