1 Corinthians 12:20-27

20As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

21The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” Or again, the head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”

22On the contrary, those parts of the body that are weaker are indispensable.

23And those parts of the body that we consider less honorable, we clothe these with greater honor, and our unrespectable parts are treated with greater respect,

24which our respectable parts do not need. Instead, God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the less honorable,

25so that there would be no division in the body, but that the members would have the same concern for each other.

26So if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

27Now you are the body of Christ, and individual members of it.
