New American Standard Bible 1995
1 Corinthians 12:18-23
18But now God has 1placed the members, each one of them, in the body, 2just as He desired.
19If they were all one member, where would the body be?
20But now 3there are many members, but one body.
21And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”
22On the contrary, 4it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;
23and those members of the body which we 5deem less honorable, 6on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable,
