1 Corinthians 12:24 in Context — 1 Corinthians 12

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.

26 E seja que, [caso] um membro sofra, [também] os membros sofrem juntos; e [caso] um membro seja honrado, todos os membros se alegram juntos.
