Indispensable

1 Corinthians 12:22 (New International Version)  22On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,

The word translated as indispensable from the transliterated Greek word "anagkaia" includes the sense of close kin, resonating with the idea of the one body which is Christ.
With the body analogy in mind, which part or portion of our body is nonessential and who is of less worth than another? Who is not a brother or sister? Don't we all have the same rank in Jesus, that of child of God? Each one is indispensable. He loves all His children.
