Romans 12:5

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

Now as we have many parts in one body, and all the parts do not have the same function,

Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for all of us share that one bread.

For as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of that body, though many, are one body—so also is Christ.

which is His body, the fullness of the One who fills all things in every way.

Since you put away lying, Speak the truth, each one to his neighbor,

because we are members of one another.

for the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of the body.

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for you, and I am completing in my flesh what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for His body, that is, the church.

He doesn’t hold on to the head, from whom the whole body, nourished and held together by its ligaments and tendons, develops with growth from God.
