17. If all the body was an eye, where would be the hearing? If all hearing, where would be the smelling?
18. But now Elohim has set the members, each one of them, in the body, even as He pleased.
19. And if they all had been one member, where would the body be?
20. And now, there are indeed many members, but one body.
21. And an eye is unable 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, those members of the body which are thought to be weaker are necessary.
23. And to those of the body which we think to be less respected, these we present greater respect. And our unseemly members have greater seemliness,
24. whereas our seemly members have no need. But Elohim blended together the body, having given greater respect to that member which lacks it,
25. that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same concern one for another.
26. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is esteemed, all the members rejoice with it.
