Romans 12:3-5 Part 2of 2

For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

so in Christ, we though many, form one body

1 Corinthians 6:15  Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!

1 Corinthians 10:16-17  Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all share the one loaf.

1 Corinthians 12:12  Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:20  As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

1 Corinthians 12:27  Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

Ephesians 2:16  ... and in one body to reconcile both of them (Jews and Gentiles) to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.

Ephesians 4:4  There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called; ... 

Ephesians 4:25  Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.

Ephesians 5:29-30  After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church--for we are members of his body.

Colossians 3:15  Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
