1 Corinthians 12:21 in other translations
And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you.” Nor can the head say to the feet, “I do not need you.”
The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.”

In context
18 But now God hath set the members, every one of them, in the body as it hath pleased him.
19 And if they all were one member, where would be the body?
20 But now there are many members indeed, yet one body.
21 And the eye cannot say to the hand: I need not thy help. Nor again the head to the feet: I have no need of you.
22 Yea, much, more those that seem to be the more feeble members of the body are more necessary
23 And such as we think to be the less honourable members of the body, about these we put more abundant honour: and those that are our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
24 But our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, giving to that which wanted the more abundant honour.
