On the contrary, it is much truer that the parts of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;

Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:

and those parts of the body which we consider less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor, and our less presentable parts become much more presentable,

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.

whereas our more presentable parts have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked,

For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked.

so that there may be no division in the body, but that the parts may have the same care for one another.

That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.

And if one part of the body suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if a part is honored, all the parts rejoice with it.

And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
