We are parts of his body.
The man said, “Her bones have come from my bones. Her body has come from my body. She will be named ‘woman,’ because she was taken out of a man.”
So also we are many persons. But in Christ we are one body. And each part of the body belongs to all the other parts.
Don’t you know that your bodies belong to the body of Christ? Should I take what belongs to Christ and join it to a prostitute? Never!
The church is Christ’s body and is filled by Christ. He fills everything in every way.
After all, no one ever hated their own body. Instead, they feed and care for their body. And this is what Christ does for the church.
They aren’t connected anymore to the head, who is Christ. But the whole body grows from the head. The muscles and tendons hold the body together. And God causes it to grow.
