All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills. For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose. If all were a single member, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, yet one body. The 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." On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.

actually Sirk,
this was a very lovely and kind thing to point out and a way to edify others who are seeking
how to learn, to do better, to have the mind of Christ, to share and work together in cooperation,
which is teaching each other the meaning of unity in the Body, that is a beautiful thing -
it's kind of like saying, 'give me the man/woman that can fight like hell while their feeling down,
or maybe out of control for the moment,
these are the people that our Father wants on His team.
as it is written,
I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me.'
(whether we're up - or whether we're down'.
