this knowing, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of the sin may be made useless, for our no longer serving the sin;

Let not then the sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it in its desires;

So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another's, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God;

A wretched man I am! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death?

and if Christ is in you, the body, indeed, is dead because of sin, and the Spirit is life because of righteousness,

for if according to the flesh ye do live, ye are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body ye put to death, ye shall live;

And not only so, but also we ourselves, having the first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves in ourselves do groan, adoption expecting -- the redemption of our body;

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

so we, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each one of one another.

for I indeed, as being absent as to the body, and present as to the spirit, have already judged, as being present, him who so wrought this thing:

the meats are for the belly, and the belly for the meats. And God both this and these shall make useless; and the body is not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body;

have ye not known that he who is joined to the harlot is one body? 'for they shall be -- saith He -- the two for one flesh.'

flee the whoredom; every sin -- whatever a man may commit -- is without the body, and he who is committing whoredom, against his own body doth sin.

Have ye not known that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own,

for ye were bought with a price; glorify, then, God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

the wife over her own body hath not authority, but the husband; and, in like manner also, the husband over his own body hath not authority, but the wife.

The wife and the virgin have been distinguished: the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit, and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how she shall please the husband.

but I chastise my body, and bring it into servitude, lest by any means, having preached to others -- I myself may become disapproved.

The cup of the blessing that we bless -- is it not the fellowship of the blood of the Christ? the bread that we break -- is it not the fellowship of the body of the Christ?

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

and having given thanks, he brake, and said, 'Take ye, eat ye, this is my body, that for you is being broken; this do ye -- to the remembrance of me.'

so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, guilty he shall be of the body and blood of the Lord:

for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, judgment to himself he doth eat and drink -- not discerning the body of the Lord.

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,

for also in one Spirit we all to one body were baptized, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all into one Spirit were made to drink,

for also the body is not one member, but many;

if the foot may say, 'Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body;

and if the ear may say, 'Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body?

If the whole body were an eye, where the hearing? if the whole hearing, where the smelling?

and now, God did set the members each one of them in the body, according as He willed,

and if all were one member, where the body?

and now, indeed, are many members, and one body;
