1 Corinthians 12:23 in context

  1. 21And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
  2. 22Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:
  3. 23and those parts of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness;
  4. 24whereas our comely parts have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked;
  5. 25that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
