1 Corinthians 12:23
“And 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.”
Verse in context — 1 Corinthians 12
21
And 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.
22
Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
23
And 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.
24
For our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that [part] which lacked:
25
That there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another.
