Romans 12:5

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

For as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office,

For we, being many, are one bread, one body; for we all partake of the one bread.

For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body being many are one body, so also is Christ;

which is his body, the fullness of him that fills all things in all.

Wherefore, laying aside lying let every one speak the truth to his neighbor, for we are members one of another.

for the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ is the head of the church; he is the savior of the body.

Now I rejoice in sufferings for you, and supply the deficiencies of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the church,

and not holding the head, from which all the body being supplied and compacted by means of joints and tendons grows with an increase of God.
