18 But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it.
19 How strange a body would be if it had only one part!
20 Yes, there are many parts, but only one body.
21 The eye can never say to the hand, “I don’t need you.” The head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you.”
22 In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary.
23 And the parts we regard as less honorable are those we clothe with the greatest care. So we carefully protect those parts that should not be seen,
24 while the more honorable parts do not require this special care. So God has put the body together such that extra honor and care are given to those parts that have less dignity.
25 This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each other.
26 If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad.
I believe some of the racial challenges we are having is because we dont understand the unity of the body. God placed us all here together and we still havent figured out how to live together. We dont understand what unity means.
Not sameness or oneness
Means different but together.

Different ingredients makes the one stew
All the parts separated will not make a stew
Examine all the parts, pull off the bad pieces
have to combine the parts
Seasoning
