1 Corinthians 12:14-23

14ForG1063 theG3588 bodyG4983 does not consistG1510G3756 of oneG1520 partG3196, butG235 of manyG4183. 15IfG1437 theG3588 footG4228 should sayG2036, “BecauseG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 a handG5495, I doG1510 notG3756 belongG1537 to theG3588 bodyG4983,” thatG3844G3778 wouldG1510 notG3756 make it any less a part ofG1537 theG3588 bodyG4983. 16AndG2532 ifG1437 theG3588 earG3775 should sayG2036, “BecauseG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 an eyeG3788, I doG1510 notG3756 belongG1537 to theG3588 bodyG4983,” thatG3844G3778 wouldG1510 notG3756 make it any less a part ofG1537 theG3588 bodyG4983. 17IfG1487 theG3588 wholeG3650 bodyG4983 were an eyeG3788, whereG4226 would theG3588 sense of hearingG189 be? IfG1487 the wholeG3650 body were an earG189, whereG4226 would theG3588 sense of smellG3750 be?

18ButG1161 in factG3570, GodG2316 has arrangedG5087 theG3588 membersG3196 ofG1722 theG3588 bodyG4983, everyG1538 oneG1520 of themG846, according toG2531 His designG2309. 19IfG1487 they wereG1510 allG3956 oneG1520 partG3196, whereG4226 would theG3588 bodyG4983 be? 20As it isG3568G3303, there are manyG4183 partsG3196, butG1161 oneG1520 bodyG4983.

TheG3588 eyeG3788 cannotG3756G1410 sayG2036 to theG3588 handG5495, “I doG2192 notG3756 needG5532 youG4771.” Nor can theG3588 headG2776 say to theG3588 feetG4228, “I doG2192 notG3756 needG5532 youG4771.” 22On the contraryG235G4183G3123, theG3588 partsG3196 of theG3588 bodyG4983 that seemG1380 to beG5225 weakerG772 areG1510 indispensableG316, 23andG2532 theG3739 parts we considerG1380G1510 less honorableG820, we treatG4060 with greaterG4053 honorG5092. AndG2532 ourG1473 unpresentableG809 parts are treated withG2192 specialG4053 modestyG2157,
