"Nay, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be more feeble are necessary:" — 1 Corinthians 12:22 (ASV)

Which seem to be more feeble.—The general argument of this and the following verse (without attempting to identify the particular parts of the body referred to) is that the weakest parts of the body are as necessary to the body as the strongest; and those parts which are considered less seemly are more abundantly cared for by being carefully covered with clothes, as distinguished from the face and hands which are uncovered.
