Yf all were hearinge, where then the smellinge? 18 But now hath God set the membres, euery one seuerally in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19 Neuertheles yf all the mebres were one membre, where were then the body? 20 But now are the membres many, yet is the body but one. 21 The eye can not saye vnto the hande: I haue no nede of the: or agayne the heade vnto the fete, I haue no nede of you: 22 but rather a greate deale the mebres of the body which seme to be most feble, are most necessary: 23 and vpon those membres of the body which we thinke least honest, put we most honestie on: and oure vncomly partes haue most beutye on. 24 For oure honest membres neade it not.

And yf one membre suffre, all the membres suffre with him: 26 and yf one membre be had in honoure, all the membres are glad with him also. 27 But ye are the body of Christ, and membres, euery one of another. 28 And God hath ordeyned in the congregacion, first the Apostles, secodly prophetes, thirdly teachers, then doers of miracles, after that the giftes of healinge, helpers, gouerners, dyuerse tunges.
