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?

Und so das Ohr spräche: Ich bin kein Auge, darum bin ich nicht des Leibes Glied, sollte es um deswillen nicht des Leibes Glied sein?
Y si dijere la oreja: Porque no soy ojo, no soy del cuerpo: ¿por eso no será del cuerpo?
Y si la oreja dijera: «Porque no soy ojo, no pertenezco al cuerpo», no por eso deja de pertenecer al cuerpo.
Et si l'oreille disait: Parce que je ne suis pas un oeil, je ne suis pas du corps, ne serait-elle pas du corps pour cela?
E se l’orecchio dice: Perciocchè io non son occhio, io non son del corpo; non è egli però del corpo?
E se a orelha disser: Porque não sou olho não sou do corpo; não será por isso do corpo?
假如耳朵說:「我不是眼睛,所以不屬於身體」,它也不能因此就不屬於身體。
