'Body' in the Bible

For though I am absent in body but present in spirit, I have already decided about the one who has done this thing as though I were present.

“Food for the stomach and the stomach for food,” but God will do away with both of them. The body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

Don’t you know that anyone joined to a prostitute is one body with her? For Scripture says, The two will become one flesh.

Run from sexual immorality! “Every sin a person can commit is outside the body.” On the contrary, the person who is sexually immoral sins against his own body.

Don’t you know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,

for you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God in your body.

A wife does not have the right over her own body, but her husband does. In the same way, a husband does not have the right over his own body, but his wife does.

and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or a virgin is concerned about the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the things of the world—how she may please her husband.

Instead, I discipline my body and bring it under strict control, so that after preaching to others, I myself will not be disqualified.

The cup of blessing that we give thanks for, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?

Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for all of us share that one bread.

gave thanks, broke it, and said, “This is My body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.”

Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy way will be guilty of sin against the body and blood of the Lord.

For whoever eats and drinks without recognizing the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself.

For as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of that body, though many, are one body—so also is Christ.

For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.

So the body is not one part but many.

If the foot should say, “Because I’m not a hand, I don’t belong to the body,” in spite of this it still belongs to the body.

And if the ear should say, “Because I’m not an eye, I don’t belong to the body,” in spite of this it still belongs to the body.

If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?

But now God has placed each one of the parts in one body just as He wanted.

And if they were all the same part, where would the body be?

Now there are many parts, yet one body.

But even more, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are necessary.

And those parts of the body that we think to be less honorable, we clothe these with greater honor, and our unpresentable parts have a better presentation.

But our presentable parts have no need of clothing. Instead, God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the less honorable,

so that there would be no division in the body, but that the members would have the same concern for each other.

Now you are the body of Christ, and individual members of it.

And if I donate all my goods to feed the poor,and if I give my body in order to boastbut do not have love, I gain nothing.

But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? What kind of body will they have when they come?”

And as for what you sow—you are not sowing the future body, but only a seed, perhaps of wheat or another grain.

But God gives it a body as He wants, and to each of the seeds its own body.

sown a natural body, raised a spiritual body.If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
