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

    23 And 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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