1 Corinthians 12:14-23

14As you know, the human body is not made up of only one part, but of many parts.

15Suppose a foot says, “I’m not a hand, so I’m not part of the body!” Would that mean it’s no longer part of the body?

16Or suppose an ear says, “I’m not an eye, so I’m not a part of the body!” Would that mean it’s no longer part of the body?

17If the whole body were an eye, how could it hear? If the whole body were an ear, how could it smell?

18So God put each and every part of the body together as he wanted it.

19How could it be a body if it only had one part?

20So there are many parts but one body.

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

22The opposite is true. The parts of the body that we think are weaker are the ones we really need.

23The parts of the body that we think are less honorable are the ones we give special honor. So our unpresentable parts are made more presentable.
