1 Corinthians 12:24 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: For our comely parts have no need - It would be easy to go into great detail in giving an anatomical description of the different members and parts to which the apostle refers, but it would not probably answer the end of general edification; and to explain every allusion made by the apostle, would require a minuteness of description which would not be tolerated except in a treatise on the anatomy of the human body. My readers will therefore excuse my entering into this detail.
