    24 whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,

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

    15 If the foot would say, "Because I'm not the hand, I'm not part of the body," it is not therefore not part of the body.

    16 If the ear would say, "Because I'm not the eye, I'm not part of the body," it's not therefore not part of the body.

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

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