1 Corintios 12:24

24 ya que nuestras partes presentables no lo necesitan. Mas así formó Dios el cuerpo, dando mayor honra a la parte que carecía de ella,

1 Corintios 12:24 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 12:24

For our comely parts have no need
As the face, eyes, nose, lips, cheeks which stand in no need of an external covering, of any outward ornament: so such as are blessed with the bounties of nature and providence, with the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and are eminent for grace and holiness, and are enabled to walk worthy of their calling, and to have their conversations as become the Gospel of Christ, holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience, these have no need of such a covering, as the former have, to hide and conceal them from the world: but God hath tempered the body together;
he hath composed it in such a forth, constituted it in such an order, mixed and united all its parts in such a manner, as that they are all beneficial to each other; and such is the harmonious contexture of the whole, that it is a most beautiful structure: having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked;
or, as the Syriac version renders it, "which is the least"; and such is the temperament and constitution of the church, having mixed rich and poor persons, of greater and lesser gifts, together, for mutual good.

1 Corintios 12:24 In-Context

22 Por el contrario, la verdad es que los miembros del cuerpo que parecen ser los más débiles, son los más necesarios;

23 y las partes del cuerpo que estimamos menos honrosas, a éstas las vestimos con más honra; de manera que las partes que consideramos más íntimas, reciben un trato más honroso,

24 ya que nuestras partes presentables no lo necesitan. Mas así formó Dios el cuerpo, dando mayor honra a la parte que carecía de ella,

25 a fin de que en el cuerpo no haya división, sino que los miembros tengan el mismo cuidado unos por otros.

26 Y si un miembro sufre, todos los miembros sufren con él; y si un miembro es honrado, todos los miembros se regocijan con él.
