← 1 Corinthians 12:16	1 Corinthians 12:17 (KJV)	1 Corinthians 12:18 →
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?	If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling?	But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

• G1487 — εἰ (ei, i): if — a primary particle of conditionality; if, whether, that, etc.:--forasmuch as, if, that, (al-)though, whether. Often used in connection or composition with other particles, especially as in εἴγε, εἰ δὲ μή(γε), εἰ καί, εἰ μή, εἰ μή τι, εἴ περ, εἴ πως, εἴ τις, ἐκ. See also ἐάν.
• G3650 — ὅλος (hólos, hol'-os): all, the whole, entire — a primary word; "whole" or "all", i.e. complete (in extent, amount, time or degree), especially (neuter) as noun or adverb:--all, altogether, every whit, + throughout, whole.
• G3750 — ὄσφρησις (ósphrēsis, os'-fray-sis): the sense of smell — from a derivative of ὄζω; smell (the sense):--smelling.

• G4226 — ποῦ (poû, poo): where, whither — genitive case of an interrogative pronoun (what) otherwise obsolete (perhaps the same as πού used with the rising slide of inquiry); as adverb of place; at (by implication, to) what locality:--where, whither.
• G4983 — σῶμα (sōma, so'-mah): body, flesh — from σώζω; the body (as a sound whole), used in a very wide application, literally or figuratively:--bodily, body, slave.
