‏ 1 Corinthians 12:17

If the whole body were an eye ( ε ολον το σωμα οφθαλμος ). The eye is the most wonderful organ and supremely useful (Nu 10:31), the very light of the body (Lu 11:34). And yet how grotesque it would be if there were nothing else but a great round rolling eye! A big "I" surely!
