for we are members of his body.
The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”
so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!
which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church—
They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.
