20But now they are many members, but one body.

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.

22Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:

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;

24whereas our comely [parts] have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that [part] which lacked;

25that there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another.

26And whether one member suffereth, all the members suffer with it; or [one] member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
