because we are members of his body.
Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.”
so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!
which is his body, the fulness of him who fills all in all.
For no man ever hates his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, as Christ does the church,
and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.
