"In fact, so much more necessary are those parts of the body which seem to be weaker. "
— 1 Corinthians 12:22, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:”
“Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary: ”
“No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.”
“On the contrary, those members that seem to be weaker are essential,”
“Yea, much, more those that seem to be the more feeble members of the body are more necessary”
“No, those parts which seem to be feeble are the more necessary;”
“Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:”
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,
so that there might be no schism in the body, but instead the parts themselves might take care of one another.
