1 Corinthians 12:24 in context

  1. 22No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
  2. 23Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety;
  3. 24whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,
  4. 25that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.
  5. 26When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. When one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
