1 Corinthians 12:14-26

Murdock(i) 14 For a body also, is not one member, but many. 15 For if the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it, on that account, not of the body? 16 Or if the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it, on that account, not of the body? 17 And if the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? Or if it were all hearing, where would be the smelling? 18 But now hath God placed every one of the members in the body, according to his pleasure. 19 And if they were all one member, where would be the body? 20 But now they are many members, yet but one body. 21 The eye cannot say to the hand, Thou art not needful to me: nor can the head say to the feet, Ye are not needful to me. 22 But rather, those members which are accounted feeble, are indispensable. 23 And those which we think dishonorable in the body, on them we heap more honor; and those that are uncomely, on them we put the more decoration. 24 For the honorable members in us, have no need of honor: for God hath tempered the body, and given more honor to the member which is inferior; 25 that there might be no disunion in the body, but that all the members, equally, might care for one another; 26 so that, when one member is in pain, they will all sympathize; and if one member is exalted, all the members will be exalted.
