1 Corinthians 12:14-26

Lamsa(i) 14 The body is not one member, but many. 15 For if the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I am not a part of the body; is it therefore not a member of the body? 16 And if the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I am not a part of the body; is it therefore not a member of the body? 17 If the whole body were eyes, where would hearing be? And if the whole were hearing, where would smelling be? 18 But now God has set every member in the body, as it has pleased him. 19 If they were all one member, where would the body be? 20 But now they are many members, yet but one body. 21 The eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you: nor can the head say to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 But rather those members of the body which are considered to be delicate are necessary. 23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honorable, we bestow more abundant honor; and the parts that are uncomely, we dress with greater care. 24 For our comely parts have no need for attention: But God has so tempered the body together, and has given greater honor to the member which is inferior: 25 That there may be no discord in the body, but that they may care one for another, all members should be equal. 26 So when one member is in pain, all the members suffer with it; and if one member is honored, all the members will glory with it.
