1 Corinthians 12:20-27

20ButG1161 nowG1161 theyG1161 are manyG4183 membersG3196, butG1161 oneG1520 bodyG4983.

21AndG1161 theG3588 eyeG3788 cannotG3756 sayG3004 toG3004 theG3588 handG5495, IG1161 have noG3756 needG5532 ofG5495 thee: orG2228 againG3825 theG3588 headG2776 toG3004 theG3588 feetG4228, IG1161 have noG3756 needG5532 ofG5495 youG5210.

22Nay, muchG4183 ratherG3123, thoseG3588 membersG3196 ofG4983 theG3588 bodyG4983 whichG3588 seemG1380 toG4183 beG1510 moreG3123 feeble areG1510 necessaryG316:

23andG2532 thoseG3588 parts ofG4983 theG3588 bodyG4983, whichG3739 weG2249 thinkG1380 toG2532 beG1510 lessG820 honourable, uponG1510 theseG3778 weG2249 bestowG4060 moreG4053 abundantG4053 honour; andG2532 ourG2532 uncomely parts have moreG4053 abundantG4053 comeliness;

24whereasG1161 ourG2316 comely parts have noG3756 needG5532: butG1161 GodG2316 tempered theG3588 bodyG4983 together, givingG1325 moreG4053 abundantG4053 honour toG1325 thatG2316 partG1473 whichG3588 lackedG5302;

25thatG2443 thereG1510 shouldG2443 beG1510 noG3361 schism inG1722 theG3588 bodyG4983; butG235 thatG2443 theG3588 membersG3196 shouldG2443 haveG1510 theG3588 sameG846 careG3309 oneG240 forG5228 anotherG240.

26AndG2532 whetherG1535 oneG1520 memberG3196 suffereth, allG3956 theG3956 membersG3196 sufferG3958 withG2532 itG2532; orG2532 oneG1520 memberG3196 is honoured, allG3956 theG3956 membersG3196 rejoiceG4796 withG2532 itG2532.

27NowG1161 ye areG1510 theG2532 bodyG4983 ofG1537 ChristG5547, andG2532 severally membersG3196 thereof.
