'Member' in the Bible

Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent council member who also himself was looking for the Kingdom of God, came. He boldly went in to Pilate, and asked for Jesus' body.

Behold, a man named Joseph, who was a member of the council, a good and righteous man

For the body is not one member, but many.

If they were all one member, where would the body be?

When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. Or when one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!
