1 Corinthians 12:14-27 14For the body is not one member, but many. 15If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17If the whole body [were] an eye, where [were] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [were] the smelling? 18But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 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 unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23And those [members] of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness. 24For our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour 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 suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
