1 Corinthians 12:20-27

20But now there are many parts, yet one body.

21The eye cannot tell the hand, “I don’t need you!” or in turn the head to the feet, “I don’t need you!”

22On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be less important are indispensable.

23Those parts of the body that we think to be less honorable, we clothe with greater honor; and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty;

24but our presentable parts have no such need. Rather God assembled the body, giving more honor to those who are lacking,

25so that there may be no division in the body, but so that the parts may have the same care for one another.

26If one part suffers, all the parts suffer together. If one part is honored, all the parts rejoice together.

27Now you are the body of Messiah, and members individually.
