21The eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you," nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you." 22On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23and on those parts of the body that we think less honourable we bestow the greater honour, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, 24which our more presentable parts do not require.
21 Iso alinakusho esandleni ukuthi: "Angikudingi;" nekhanda futhi alinakusho ezinyaweni ukuthi: "Anginidingi." 22 Kanti ngempela lezo zitho zomzimba ezingathi zibuthakathaka kunezinye ziyadingeka; 23 nalezo zitho zomzimba ezingathi zidelelekile kunezinye, yizona esizazisa kakhulu; nalezo esinamahloni ngazo zihlonipheka kakhulu.
