1 Corinthians 12:20-27 (New American Standard)
20
But now 1there are many members, but one body.
21
And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you"; or again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you."
22
On the contrary, ait is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary ;
23
and those members of the body which we bdeem less honorable, con these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable,
24
whereas our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked,
25
so that there may be no ddivision in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.
26
And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is ehonored, all the members rejoice with it.
27
Now you are 2Christ's body, and 3individually members of it.
