1 Corinthians 12:18-26

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.

24However, our presentable parts don’t need this kind of treatment. God has put the body together and given special honor to the part that doesn’t have it.

25God’s purpose was that the body should not be divided but rather that all of its parts should feel the same concern for each other.

26If one part of the body suffers, all the other parts share its suffering. If one part is praised, all the others share in its happiness.
