to another faith, in the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit;

Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:

1 Corinthians 12:23 (ASV)
and those `parts' of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely `parts' have more abundant comeliness;

1 Corinthians 12:24 (ASV)
whereas our comely `parts' have no need: but God tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that `part' which lacked;

1 Corinthians 12:25 (ASV)
that there should be no schism in the body; but `that' the members should have the same care one for another.
