1 Corinthians12:24
24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked .
God hath in the Wisdom of his Providence so ordered it, that as we have some parts of our body, which are judged uncomely, and not for those noble uses that others are; so we have other parts that are, for use, more noble, yet in common repute more ignoble and uncomely: and the same wise God hath so builded the body of man, as of both these to make [illegible: 1 letter] temperament so, as they all concur in the composition of the same body, and more abundant honour in covering and cloathing them, is given to those parts, that in the judgment of men, seemed most to lack honour, that their uncomeliness might by some artificial means be taken away.
