Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow.
But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone?
And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.
1 Corinthians 12:20-25
As it is, there are many parts, yet one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.”
On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, which our more presentable parts do not require.

Final Thoughts on Teamwork & Working Together
We all have different skills and benefit from what others have to offer. We can see from the Bible verses about teamwork that God made us better together.
Our bodies function in the same way. For example, if one of our knees is injured, the other knee compensates. It takes on more of the load on instinct.
Similarly, if we lose one of our five senses (sight, taste, smell, hearing, and touch), the others work harder to compensate.
Team work is about one mind set to achieve a goal, share this bible verse to a friend who is lacking behind.
