'Body' in the Bible

Now the church is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh -- who are called "uncircumcision" by the so-called "circumcision" that is performed on the body by human hands --

and to reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by which the hostility has been killed.

namely, that through the gospel the Gentiles are fellow heirs, fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus.

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you too were called to the one hope of your calling,

to equip the saints for the work of ministry, that is, to build up the body of Christ,

From him the whole body grows, fitted and held together through every supporting ligament. As each one does its part, the body grows in love.

because the husband is the head of the wife as also Christ is the head of the church -- he himself being the savior of the body.

For no one has ever hated his own body but he feeds it and takes care of it, just as Christ also does the church,

for we are members of his body.
