1 Corinthians 12:23 in Context — 1 Corinthians 12
21 L’œil ne peut pas dire à la main: Je n’ai pas besoin de toi; ni la tête dire aux pieds: Je n’ai pas besoin de vous.
22 Mais bien plutôt, les membres du corps qui paraissent être les plus faibles sont nécessaires;
23 et ceux que nous estimons être les moins honorables du corps, nous les entourons d’un plus grand honneur. Ainsi nos membres les moins honnêtes reçoivent le plus d’honneur,
24 tandis que ceux qui sont honnêtes n’en ont pas besoin. Dieu a disposé le corps de manière à donner plus d’honneur à ce qui en manquait,
25 afin qu’il n’y ait pas de division dans le corps, mais que les membres aient également soin les uns des autres.
