If they were all one part, where would the body be?

1 Corinthians 12:19 in context

The verses around it, from 1 Corinthians 12.

15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.

16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.

17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?

18 But in fact, God has arranged the members of the body, every one of them, according to His design.

19 If they were all one part, where would the body be?

20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you.” Nor can the head say to the feet, “I do not need you.”

22 On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,

23 and the parts we consider less honorable, we treat with greater honor. And our unpresentable parts are treated with special modesty,
