  • 1 Cor 6:15 : 15 Do you not see that your bodies are part of the body of Christ? how then may I take what is a part of the body of Christ and make it a part of the body of a loose woman? such a thing may not be.
  • 1 Cor 12:12-27 : 12 For as the body is one, and has a number of parts, and all the parts make one body, so is Christ. 13 For through the baptism of the one Spirit we were all formed into one body, Jews or Greeks, servants or free men, and were all made full of the same Spirit. 14 For the body is not one part, but a number of parts. 15 If the foot says, Because I am not the hand, I am not a part of the body; it is no less a part of the body. 16 And if the ear says, Because I am not the eye, I am not a part of the body; it is a part of the body all the same. 17 If all the body was an eye, where would be the hearing? if all was hearing, where would be the smelling? 18 But now God has put every one of the parts in the body as it was pleasing to him. 19 And if they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 But now they are all different parts, but one body. 21 And the eye may not say to the hand, I have no need of you: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 No, those parts which seem to be feeble are the more necessary; 23 And to those parts of the body which seem to have less honour we give all the more honour; and to those parts of the body which are a cause of shame to us we give the greater respect; 24 But those parts of the body which are beautiful have no need of such care: and so the body has been joined together by God in such a way as to give more honour to those parts which had need of it; 25 So that there might be no division in the body; but all the parts might have the same care for one another. 26 And if there is pain in one part of the body, all the parts will be feeling it; or if one part is honoured, all the parts will be glad. 27 Now you are the body of Christ, and every one of you the separate parts of it.

    25Husbands, have love for your wives, even as Christ had love for the church, and gave himself for it;

    26So that he might make it holy, having made it clean with the washing of water by the word,

    27And might take it for himself, a church full of glory, not having one mark or fold or any such thing; but that it might be holy and complete.

    28Even so it is right for husbands to have love for their wives as for their bodies. He who has love for his wife has love for himself:

    29For no man ever had hate for his flesh; but he gives it food and takes care of it, even as Christ does for the church;

    15Do you not see that your bodies are part of the body of Christ? how then may I take what is a part of the body of Christ and make it a part of the body of a loose woman? such a thing may not be.

    16Or do you not see that he who is joined to a loose woman is one body with her? for God has said, The two of them will become one flesh.

    17But he who is united to the Lord is one spirit.

    22No, those parts which seem to be feeble are the more necessary;

    23And to those parts of the body which seem to have less honour we give all the more honour; and to those parts of the body which are a cause of shame to us we give the greater respect;

    24But those parts of the body which are beautiful have no need of such care: and so the body has been joined together by God in such a way as to give more honour to those parts which had need of it;

    25So that there might be no division in the body; but all the parts might have the same care for one another.

    26And if there is pain in one part of the body, all the parts will be feeling it; or if one part is honoured, all the parts will be glad.

    27Now you are the body of Christ, and every one of you the separate parts of it.
