And He [God] put all things under His [Christ's] feet and gave Him as Head over all things to the Church, which is His Body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
(Ephesians 1:22-23)
So Christ Himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip His people for works of service, so that the Body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
(Ephesians 4:11-13)
Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into Him who is the Head, into Christ, from whom the whole Body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the Body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
(Ephesians 4:15-16)
For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the Head of the Church, He Himself being the Saviour of the Body.
(Ephesians 5:23)
For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the Church, because we are members of His Body.
(Ephesians 5:29-30)
For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so we, who are many, are one Body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
(Romans 12:4-5)
Now you are Christ’s Body, and individually members of it.
(1 Corinthians 12:27)
