    22No, rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.

    23And those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow greater honor, and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty.

    24But our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacked,

    25that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.

    26And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

    27Now you are the body of Christ and members individually.

    12For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.

    14For the body is not one member, but many.

    17If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling?

    18But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body as He pleased.

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

    20But now indeed there are many members, yet one body.
