1 CORINTHIANS 12:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
And the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty — Paul refers obliquely to the body's hidden and shameful parts (genitals, bowels); these receive protective covering (perikalypto, to cover around) precisely because they are less honorable in appearance; the covering paradoxically grants them honor.
