1 Corinthians 12:20-27

20But nowG1161 they are manyG4183 membersG3196, but oneG1520 bodyG4983. 21And the eyeG3788 cannot sayG3004 to the handG5495, I have no needG5532 of thee: or againG3825 the headG2776 to the feetG4228, I have no needG5532 of you. 22Nay, muchG4183 ratherG3123, those membersG3196 of the bodyG4983 which seemG1380 to beG1510 moreG3123 feeble areG1510 necessaryG316: 23and those parts of the bodyG4983, which we thinkG1380 to beG1510 less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honorG5092; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness; 24whereas our comely parts have no needG5532: but GodG2316 tempered the bodyG4983 together, givingG1325 more abundant honorG5092 to that part which lackedG5302; 25that there should beG1510 no schism in the bodyG4983; but that the membersG3196 should have the sameG846 care oneG240 for another. 26And whether oneG1520 memberG3196 suffereth, all the membersG3196 sufferG3958 with it; or oneG1520 memberG3196 is honored, all the membersG3196 rejoiceG4796 with it. 27NowG1161 ye areG1510 the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547, and severally membersG3196 thereof.
