1 Corinthians 12:14-27
Read 1 Corinthians 12 in full →14For also athe body is not one member, but many. 15If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason 1any the less a part of the body. 16And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason 1any the less a part of the body. 17If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be? 18But now God has aappointed the members, each one of them, in the body, bjust as He desired. 19And if they were all one member, where would the body be? 20But now athere are many members, but one body. 21And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22On the contrary, how much more is it that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary, 23and those members of the body which we think as less honorable, 1on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable, 24whereas our more presentable members have no such need. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked, 25so that there may be no 1division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is 1honored, all the members rejoice with it.
