1 Corinthians 12:14–27

¹⁴for also the body is not one member, but many; ¹⁵if the foot may say, ‘Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body;’ it is not, because of this, not of the body; ¹⁶and if the ear may say, ‘Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body;’ it is not, because of this, not of the body? ¹⁷If the whole body were an eye, where the hearing? if the whole hearing, where the smelling? ¹⁸and now, God did set the members each one of them in the body, according as He willed, ¹⁹and if all were one member, where the body? ²⁰and now, indeed, are many members, and one body; ²¹and an eye is not able to say to the hand, ‘I have no need of thee;’ nor again the head to the feet, ‘I have no need of you.’ ²²But much more the members of the body which seem to be more infirm are necessary, ²³and those that we think to be less honourable of the body, around these we put more abundant honour, and our unseemly things have seemliness more abundant, ²⁴and our seemly things have no need; but God did temper the body together, to the lacking part having given more abundant honour, ²⁵that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same anxiety for one another, ²⁶and whether one member doth suffer, suffer with it do all the members, or one member is glorified, rejoice with it do all the members.

²⁷And ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
