1 Corinthians 12:22-25

22On the contraryG235, 1it is muchG4183 truerG3123 that the partsG3196 of the bodyG4983 which seemG1380 to be weakerG772 are necessaryG316;

23and those parts of the bodyG4983 whichG3739 we 2considerG1380 lessG820 honorableG820, 3on theseG3778 we bestowG4060 greaterG4053 honorG5092, and our lessG809 presentableG809 parts becomeG2192 muchG4053 moreG4053 presentableG2157,

24whereasG1161 our moreG2158 presentableG2158 parts haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of it. But GodG2316 has so composedG4786 the bodyG4983, givingG1325 moreG4053 abundantG4053 honorG5092 to that part which lackedG5302,

25soG2443 thatG2443 there may be noG3361 4divisionG4978 in the bodyG4983, but that the partsG3196 may haveG3309 the sameG846 careG3309 for oneG240 anotherG240.
