20. So there are many parts, yet one body.
21. The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”
22. No, those parts of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
23. And those parts of the body which we think are less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor. And our less respectable parts are treated with much more respect,
24. whereas our more respectable parts have no need of this. But God has composed the body, having given more abundant honor to that part which lacks it,
25. so that there should be no division in the body, but that the parts should have the same care for one another.
26. If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts rejoice with it.
