^{22 Ref} No, those parts which seem to be feeble are the more necessary;

^{23 Ref} And to those parts of the body which seem to have less honour we give all the more honour; and to those parts of the body which are a cause of shame to us we give the greater respect;

^{24 Ref} 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;

^{25 Ref} So that there might be no division in the body; but all the parts might have the same care for one another.

^{26 Ref} And if there is pain in one part of the body, all the parts will be feeling it; or if one part is honoured, all the parts will be glad.
