1 Corinthians 12:21 Context
19And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21And the eye cannot say vnto the hand, I haue no need of thee: nor againe, the head to the feete, I haue no neede of you. 22Nay, much more those members of the bodie, which seeme to bee more feeble, are necessary. 23And those members of the bodie, which wee thinke to bee lesse honourable, vpon these we bestow more abundant honour, and our vncomely parts haue more abundant comelinesse.
