12:21 The
eye cannot say to the
hand, “I
do not need you,”
nor in
turn can the
head say to the
foot, “I
do not need you.”
22 On the contrary, those
members that
seem to
be weaker are essential,
23 and those members we
consider less honorable we
clothe with
greater honor,
and our unpresentable members are
clothed with
dignity,
24 but our presentable members do not need this.
Instead,
God has
blended together the
body,
giving greater honor to the
lesser member,
25 so that there may
be no division in the
body,
but the
members may have
mutual concern for one another.
26 If one member suffers,
everyone suffers with it.
If a
member is
honored,
all rejoice with it.
