Body

From Him the whole body, fitted and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love through the work of each individual part.

For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior.

Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.

For we are members of His body.

I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have complete boldness so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

But if I go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. So what shall I choose? I do not know.

But it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.

…who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body.

And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and firstborn from among the dead, so that in all things He may have preeminence.

But now He has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy, unblemished, and blameless in His presence—

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions for the sake of His body, which is the church.

For although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I delight to see your orderly condition and firm faith in Christ.

These are a shadow of the things to come, but the body that casts it belongs to Christ.

He has lost connection to the head, from whom the whole body, supported and knit together by its joints and ligaments, grows as God causes it to grow.

Such restrictions indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-prescribed worship, their false humility, and their harsh treatment of the body; but they are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, for to this you were called as members of one body. And be thankful.

…each of you must know how to control his own body in holiness and honor,

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your entire spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for Me.

And by that will, we have been sanctified through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

…by the new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body,

As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to control his whole body.

In the same way, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it boasts of great things. Consider how small a spark sets a great forest ablaze.

The tongue also is a fire, a world of wickedness among the parts of the body. It pollutes the whole person, sets the course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. “By His stripes you are healed.”

For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit,

And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves with the same resolve, because anyone who has suffered in his body is done with sin.

Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves with the same resolve, because anyone who has suffered in his body is done with sin.
