'Body' in the Bible

and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, keep warm and eat well," but you do not give them what the body needs, what good is it?

For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

For we all stumble in many ways. If someone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect individual, able to control the entire body as well.

So too the tongue is a small part of the body, yet it has great pretensions. Think how small a flame sets a huge forest ablaze.

And the tongue is a fire! The tongue represents the world of wrongdoing among the parts of our bodies. It pollutes the entire body and sets fire to the course of human existence -- and is set on fire by hell.
