24 I now rejoice in sufferings for you, and make complete in my flesh things lacking of the afflictions of the Christ for his body, which is the church.
12 For just as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of the body, being many, are one body, so also is the Christ.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might become preeminent in all things.
15 And let the peace of God umpire in your hearts, for which also ye were called in one body, and become thankful.
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and body-parts individually.
15 Know ye not that your bodies are body-parts of Christ? Therefore, having taken the body-parts of the Christ, should I make them body-parts of a harlot? May it not happen!
16 from whom the whole body, joined together and united together through every connection of the supply, according to the working of each one part within a standard, makes the growth of the body for the construction of itself by love.
4 one body, and one Spirit. Just as also ye were called in one hope of your calling,
4 For just as we have many body-parts in one body, and all the body-parts have not the same function,
5 so we, the many, are one body in Christ, and each one body-parts of each other.
29 For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as also Christ the church,
30 because we are parts of his body, of his flesh and of his bones.
