“If the eye is healthy and one can see clearly, what joy will it have if the other members of the body are missing? How would it appear to be perfect without the hands, the feet or the other parts of the body?”
Origen of Alexandria, 3th c. — HOMILIES ON LEVITICUS 7
Original
21And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

In context
19And if they were all one member, where were the body?
20But now are they many members, yet but one body.
— 1 Corinthians 12:21 —
22Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
23And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
