VI. The Care Given To

The Members Of The Body vs. 22-26

“Nay

, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are

necessary: And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.

20Slide21

VI. The Care Given To The Members Of The Body

vs. 22-26

For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant

honour

to that part which lacked: That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.21Slide22

whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be

honoured, all the members rejoice with it.”22Slide23
