Supplementary learning material for the body parts:

Please circle the body parts in the following bible verses:

哥林多前书 12:14-21Chinese Contemporary Bible (CCB)

14 人的身体并非只有一个肢体，乃是由许多肢体组成的。 15 如果脚说：“我不是手，所以我不属于身体。”难道脚就因此不属于身体吗？ 16 如果耳朵说：“我不是眼睛，所以我不属于身体。”难道耳朵就因此不属于身体吗？ 17 如果整个身体是一只眼睛，哪里有听觉呢？如果整个身体是一只耳朵，哪里有嗅觉呢？

18 但事实上，上帝按自己的旨意将各个肢体安置在身体上了。 19 如果全身只有一个肢体，还会是身体吗？ 20 如今肢体虽多，但身体只有一个。 21 眼睛不能对手说：“我不需要你。”头也不能对脚说：“我不需要你。”

1 Corinthians 12:14-21

1 Corinthians 12:14-211 Corinthians 12:14-21New International Version (NIV)

14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.

15 Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being 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 placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 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 don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”

哥 林 多 前 书 12:14-21Chinese Contemporary Bible (CCB)
rén de shēn tǐ bìng fēi zhǐ yǒu yī gè zhī tǐ nǎi shì yóu xǔ duō zhī
14 人的 身体 并 非 只有 一个 肢 体 ， 乃是 由 许多 肢

体 组成的 。 15 如果 脚 说 ：“ 我 不是 手 ， 所以
wǒ bù shǔ yú shēn tǐ nán dào jiǎo jiù yīn cǐ bù shǔ yú shēn tǐ ma
我 不 属于 身体 。” 难道 脚 就 因此 不 属于 身体 吗 ？ 16
rú guǒ ěr duǒ shuō|shuì wǒ bú shì yǎn jīng suǒ yǐ wǒ bù shǔ yú shēn tǐ
如果 耳朵 说 ：“ 我 不是 眼睛 ， 所以 我 不 属于 身体
nán dào ěr duǒ jiù yīn cǐ bù shǔ yú shēn tǐ ma rú guǒ zhěng gè shēn tǐ
。” 难道 耳朵 就 因此 不 属于 身体 吗 ？ 17 如果 整个 身体
shì yī zhī yǎn jīng nǎ lǐ yǒu tīng jué nē rú guǒ zhěng gè shēn tǐ
是 一 只 眼睛 ， 哪里 有 听觉 呢 ？ 如果 整个 身体
shì yī zhī ěr duǒ nǎ lǐ yǒu xiù jué nē
是 一 只 耳朵 ， 哪里 有 嗅觉 呢 ？
dàn shì shí shàng shàng dì àn zì jǐ de zhǐ yì jiāng gè gě zhī
18 但 事实上 ， 上帝 按 自己的 旨意 将 各个 肢
tǐ ān shì zài shēn tǐ shàng le rú guǒ quán shēn zhǐ yǒu yī gè
体 安置 在 身体 上 了 。 19 如果 全身 只有 一个
zhī tǐ hái huì|kuài shì shēn tǐ ma rú jīn zhī tǐ suī duō
肢 体 ， 还 会 是 身体 吗 ？ 20 如今 肢 体 虽 多 ，
dàn shēn tǐ zhǐ yǒu yī gè yǎn jīng bù néng duì shǒu shuō wǒ
但 身体 只有 一个 。 21 眼睛 不能 对手 说 ：“ 我
bù xū yào nǐ tóu yě bù néng duì jiǎo shuō wǒ bù xū yào nǐ
不需要 你 。” 头 也不 能 对 脚 说 ：“ 我 不需要 你 。”
