1 Corinthians 12:23 in context

  1. 21The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.”
  2. 22No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
  3. 23Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety;
  4. 24whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,
  5. 25that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.
