For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church:
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
