1 Corinthians 12:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 [a]And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor the head again to the feet, I have no need of you.
22 Yea, much rather those members of the body, which seem to be [b]more feeble, are necessary.
23 And upon those members of the body, which we think most unhonest, put we more [c]honesty on: and our uncomely parts have more comeliness on.

- 1 Corinthians 12:22 Of the smallest and vilest offices, and therefore finally accounted of, of the rest.
