'Body' in the Bible

"Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both." The body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

Or do you not know that anyone who is united with a prostitute is one body with her? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh."

Flee sexual immorality! "Every sin a person commits is outside of the body" -- but the immoral person sins against his own body.

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

For you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.

It is not the wife who has the rights to her own body, but the husband. In the same way, it is not the husband who has the rights to his own body, but the wife.

and he is divided. An unmarried woman or a virgin is concerned about the things of the Lord, to be holy both in body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the things of the world, how to please her husband.

Instead I subdue my body and make it my slave, so that after preaching to others I myself will not be disqualified.

Is not the cup of blessing that we bless a sharing in the blood of Christ? Is not the bread that we break a sharing in the body of Christ?

Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all share the one bread.

and after he had given thanks he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me."

For this reason, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

For the one who eats and drinks without careful regard for the body eats and drinks judgment against himself.

For just as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body -- though many -- are one body, so too is Christ.

For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body. Whether Jews or Greeks or slaves or free, we were all made to drink of the one Spirit.

For in fact the body is not a single member, but many.

If the foot says, "Since I am not a hand, I am not part of the body," it does not lose its membership in the body because of that.

And if the ear says, "Since I am not an eye, I am not part of the body," it does not lose its membership in the body because of that.

If the whole body were an eye, what part would do the hearing? If the whole were an ear, what part would exercise the sense of smell?

But as a matter of fact, God has placed each of the members in the body just as he decided.

If they were all the same member, where would the body be?

So now there are many members, but one body.

but our presentable members do not need this. Instead, God has blended together the body, giving greater honor to the lesser member,

so that there may be no division in the body, but the members may have mutual concern for one another.

Now you are Christ's body, and each of you is a member of it.

If I give away everything I own, and if I give over my body in order to boast, but do not have love, I receive no benefit.

But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?"

And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare seed -- perhaps of wheat or something else.

But God gives it a body just as he planned, and to each of the seeds a body of its own.

And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. The glory of the heavenly body is one sort and the earthly another.

it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.
