1 Corinthians 12:23

and those parts of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness;

'think' -'Those with the more prominent gifts were tempted to think they didn't need the others. This is loveless conduct. In loving our own bodies we do not despise the less important members..In. healthy person, the whole body is recognized as indispensable.' (McGuiggan pp. 172-173)

'less honorable' -'we think common' (Gspd); 'we regard almost devoid of honor' (Nor); 'unpresentable' (NIV)

'bestow more abundant honor' -'Lit., we place around as if. garland or. garment.' (Robertson p. 172) 'We surround with special honor' (TCNT) 'Elsewhere in the NT the word is used, without exception, of encircling with something.' (Vincent p. 259) 'The word is probably alluding to the practice of putting clothes over those parts of the body which we deem less honorable. By so clothing them and giving them more of our attention. we bestow more honor on those parts.' (Willis p. 436)

'uncomely parts' -'Paul is undoubtedly referring to the sexual organs, on which we bestow greater honor, and which therefore have greater decorum, because we cover them.' (Fee p. 613)
