1 Corinthians 12:14-26
-
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
-
15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
-
16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
-
17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
-
18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
-
19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
-
20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
-
21 And 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.
-
22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
-
23 And 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.
-
24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:
-
25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
-
26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
