General references

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

because one bread, one body, are we the many -- for we all of the one bread do partake.

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

which is his body, the fulness of Him who is filling the all in all,

Wherefore, putting away the lying, speak truth each with his neighbour, because we are members one of another;

because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ is head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body,

I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and do fill up the things lacking of the tribulations of the Christ in my flesh for his body, which is the assembly,

and not holding the head, from which all the body -- through the joints and bands gathering supply, and being knit together -- may increase with the increase of God.
