1 Corinthians 12:13-27

MLV(i) 13 For also, we were all immersed into one body, in one Spirit, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bondservants or free men, and all were made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot says, Because I am not the hand, I am not from the body; contrary to this, is it not from the body? 16 And if the ear says, Because I am not the eye, I am not from the body; contrary to this, is it not from the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where is the hearing? If the whole body were hearing, where is the sense of smell? 18 But now God has placed the members in the body, each one of them, just-as he willed. 19 Now if they were all one member, where is the body? 20 But now they are indeed many members, but one body. 21 Now the eye is not able to say to the hand, I have no need of you; or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 But much rather now, those members of the body that seem to be weaker are necessary; 23 and those things of the body which we think to be more dishonored, we place even-more honor upon these, and our indecent parts have even-more decency; 24 but our decent parts have no need. But God mixed the body together, having given even-more honor to the ones which are lacking; 25 in order that no splits should be in the body, but in order that the members should have the same anxiety on behalf of one another. 26 And if one member is suffering, all the members are suffering together with it. If one member is glorified, all the members are rejoicing together with it. 27 Now you are the body of Christ and members individually.
