If all were hearyng, where were the smellyng? 18 But nowe hath God set ye members, euery one seuerally in the body, as it hath pleased hym. 19 For yf they were all one member, where were the body? 20 Nowe are there many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye can not say vnto ye hande, I haue no neede of thee: Nor, the head agayne to the feete, I haue no neede of you. 22 Yea, rather a great deale, those members of the body which seeme to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 And vpon those members of the body which we thynke least honest, put we more honestie on. And our vncomely partes, haue more comelynesse on. 24 For our comely members neede it not: But God hath tempered the body together, and hath geuen the more honour to that part which lacked: 25 Lest there shoulde be any stryfe in the body: but that the members shoulde haue the same care one for another. 26 And yf one member suffer, all suffer with it. If one member be had in honour, all the members reioyce with it. 27 Ye are the body of Christe, and members one of another. 28 And God hath ordayned some in the Churche, first Apostles, secondarely, prophetes, thirdely teachers, then them that do miracles: after that, the giftes of healyng, helpers, gouernours, diuersitie of tongues.
