"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, "
— 1 Corinthians 12:24, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:”
“whereas our comely parts have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that part which lacked; ”
“whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,”
“but our presentable members do not need this. Instead, God has blended together the body, giving greater honor to the lesser member,”
“But our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, giving to that which wanted the more abundant honour.”
“But those parts of the body which are beautiful have no need of such care: and so the body has been joined together by God in such a way as to give more honour to those parts which had need of it;”
“For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:”
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.
And so, if one part suffers anything, all the parts suffer with it. Or, if one part finds glory, all the parts rejoice with it.
Now you are the body of Christ, and parts like any part.
