  • 1 Cor 12:12-27 : 12 For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot says, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear says, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body, is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? 18 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body as He pleased. 19 And if they were all one member, where would the body be? 20 But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. 21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you; nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 No, rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. 23 And those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow greater honor, and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty. 24 But our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacked, 25 that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now you are the body of Christ and members individually.

  • Eph 5:23-32 : 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is also the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body. 24 Therefore just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So men ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
