1 Corinthians12:22
22 Nay much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary .
By feeble the Apostle here doth not only mean most weak, but which seem to us most abject and contemptible, in which sense the word is used 2 Cor. 12.10. such are the belly and the entrails; the Eye also is a feeble member, &c. yet these parts are most necessary for the use of the body, being such without the use of which the body cannot live.
