For ye see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called:

For though there are that are called gods, whether in heaven or upon earth, (as there are gods many, and lords many)

For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

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 honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
