'Body' in the Bible

since they deal only with food, drink, and various washings, which are required for the body until the time when things would be set right.

For this reason, the Scriptures say, when the Messiah was about to come into the world: "You did not want sacrifices and offerings, but you prepared a body for me.

By God's will we have been sanctified once and for all through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus, the Messiah.
