"And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need for your works.” And again, the head cannot say to the feet, “You are of no use to me.” "
— 1 Corinthians 12:21, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.”
“And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. ”
“The eye can't tell the hand, "I have no need for you," or again the head to the feet, "I have no need for you."”
“The eye cannot say to the hand,“I do not need you,” nor in turn can the head say to the foot,“I do not need you.””
“And the eye cannot say to the hand: I need not thy help. Nor again the head to the feet: I have no need of you.”
“And the eye may not say to the hand, I have no need of you: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.”
“And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.”
But instead, God has placed the parts, each one of them, in the body, just as it has pleased him.
So if they were all one part, how would it be a body?
But instead, there are many parts, indeed, yet one body.
And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need for your works.” And again, the head cannot say to the feet, “You are of no use to me.”
In fact, so much more necessary are those parts of the body which seem to be weaker.
And though we consider certain parts of the body to be less noble, we surround these with more abundant dignity, and so, those parts which are less presentable end up with more abundant respect.
However, our presentable parts have no such need, since God has tempered the body together, distributing the more abundant honor to that which has the need,
