1 Corinthians 12:18-26

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.

21

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, 24whereasG1161 ourG1473 presentableG2158 parts haveG2192 noG3756 such needG5532.

ButG235 GodG2316 has composedG4786 theG3588 bodyG4983 and has givenG1325 greaterG4053 honorG5092 to theG3588 parts that lacked itG5302, 25so thatG2443 there should beG1510 noG3361 divisionG4978 inG1722 theG3588 bodyG4983, but thatG235 its membersG3196 should haveG3588 mutualG846 concernG3309 forG5228 one anotherG240. 26IfG1535 oneG1520 partG3196 suffersG3958, everyG3956 partG3196 suffers withG4841 it; ifG1535 oneG1520 partG3196 is honoredG1392, everyG3956 partG3196 rejoices withG4796 it.
