1 Corinthians 12:18-23

18But nowG3568 GodG2316 has 1arrangedG5087 the partsG3196, eachG1538 oneG1520 of them in the bodyG4983, 2justG2531 asG2531 He desiredG2309.

19IfG1487 they were allG3956 oneG1520 partG3196, whereG4226 would the bodyG4983 be?

20But nowG3568 3there are manyG4183 partsG3196, but oneG1520 bodyG4983.

21And the eyeG3788 cannotG1410G3756 sayG3004 to the handG5495, “I haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of you”; orG2228 againG3825, the headG2776 to the feetG4228, “I haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of you.”

22On the contraryG235, 4it is muchG4183 truerG3123 that the partsG3196 of the bodyG4983 which seemG1380 to be weakerG772 are necessaryG316;

23and those parts of the bodyG4983 whichG3739 we 5considerG1380 lessG820 honorableG820, 6on theseG3778 we bestowG4060 greaterG4053 honorG5092, and our lessG809 presentableG809 parts becomeG2192 muchG4053 moreG4053 presentableG2157,
