    14 For the body is not one part, but a number of parts.

    15 If the foot says, Because I am not the hand, I am not a part of the body; it is no less a part of the body.

    16 And if the ear says, Because I am not the eye, I am not a part of the body; it is a part of the body all the same.

    17 If all the body was an eye, where would be the hearing? if all was hearing, where would be the smelling?

    18 But now God has put every one of the parts in the body as it was pleasing to him.

    19 And if they were all one part, where would the body be?

    20 But now they are all different parts, but one body.

    21 And the eye may not say to the hand, I have no need of you: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

    23 And to those parts of the body which seem to have less honour we give all the more honour; and to those parts of the body which are a cause of shame to us we give the greater respect;

    24 But those parts of the body which are beautiful have no need of such care: and so the body has been joined together by God in such a way as to give more honour to those parts which had need of it;

    25 So that there might be no division in the body; but all the parts might have the same care for one another.

    26 And if there is pain in one part of the body, all the parts will be feeling it; or if one part is honoured, all the parts will be glad.
