1 Corinthians 12:24 in Context — 1 Corinthians 12

22 Antes, mucho más los miembros del cuerpo que parecen más flacos, son necesarios;

23 Y á aquellos del cuerpo que estimamos ser más viles, á éstos vestimos más honrosamente; y los que en nosotros son menos honestos, tienen más compostura.

24 Porque los que en nosotros son más honestos, no tienen necesidad: mas Dios ordenó el cuerpo, dando más abundante honor al que le faltaba;

25 Para que no haya desavenencia en el cuerpo, sino que los miembros todos se interesen los unos por los otros.

26 Por manera que si un miembro padece, todos los miembros á una se duelen; y si un miembro es honrado, todos los miembros á una se gozan.
