1 Corinthians 12:23 in Context — 1 Corinthians 12
21 E o olho não pode dizer à mão: Não tenho necessidade de ti;Nem a cabeça aos pés: Não tenho necessidade de vós;
22 Antes até os membros do corpo que [nos] parecem ser os mais fracos, são muito mais necessários.
23 E os que pensamos serem os menos honrados do corpo, a esses muito mais honramos; e os nossos mais desprezíveis têm muito mais respeito.
24 Porém os nosso mais respeitáveis não têm [tanta] necessidade; mas [assim] Deus juntou o corpo, dando muito mais honra ao que tinha falta [dela] .
25 Para que não haja divisão no corpo, mas que os membros tenham igual cuidado uns com os outros.
