1 Corinthians 12:22–26 · Berean Standard Bible

22 On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,

23 and the parts we consider less honorable, we treat with greater honor. And our unpresentable parts are treated with special modesty,

24 whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God has composed the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it,

25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its members should have mutual concern for one another.

26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
