One Body with Many Members
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.

If the foot says, “Because I am not a hand, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.
If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.
And if the ear says, “Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body,” it is not for this reason any the less a part of the body.
And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.

On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;
On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
and those members of the body which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable,
and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty,
whereas our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked,
which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it,
so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.
