I Would If I Could But I Can't Hate You

I can't hate you because you're the man, who slept with the woman, who had the man, whom I love.  
I can't hate you because you're the woman, who married the man, who had the child, whom I love.      
I can't hate you because you're the man, who gave me the ring that produced the life, that I love.        
I can't hate you because you're the child, who believes in Jesus and has accepted the God, whom I love.  
I can't hate you because I'm the child, who is lead by Christ, who submits to His words of love.
Darn, I'm so sorry. I would if I could, but I just can't...hate you.

"For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all made to drink of one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many.If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; it is not therefore not of the body.
 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; it is not 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 each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him. And if they were all one member, where were the body? But now they are many members, but one body. And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary: and those parts of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness; whereas our comely parts have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked; that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it" (1 Corinthians 12:12-26 ASV).
