    22Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:

    23and those [parts] of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness;

    24whereas our comely [parts] have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that [part] which lacked;

    25that there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another.

    26And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or [one] member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

    18But now hath God set the members each one of them in the body, even as it pleased him.

    19And if they were all one member, where were the body?
