Corpo de Cristo
A Igreja é o Corpo de Cristo — organismo vivo onde cada membro tem função única e indispensável. Cristo é a cabeça; nós somos seus membros.
Um corpo, muitos membros
Assim como o corpo é um e tem muitos membros, assim é Cristo. Nós somos o corpo de Cristo e individualmente seus membros.
One Body with Many Parts
The body of Christ has many different parts, just as any other body does.
Together you are the body of Christ. Each one of you is part of his body.
Don’t you know that your bodies are part of the body of Christ? Is it right for me to join part of the body of Christ to a prostitute? No, it isn’t!
A body is made up of many parts, and each of them has its own use. That’s how it is with us. There are many of us, but we each are part of the body of Christ, as well as part of one another.
All of you are part of the same body. There is only one Spirit of God, just as you were given one hope when you were chosen to be God’s people.
of the body. Christ holds it together and makes all of its parts work perfectly, as it grows and becomes strong because of love.
Cristo, a cabeça
Ele é a cabeça do corpo, que é a igreja. O corpo cresce e se edifica em amor quando cada parte faz o seu trabalho.
He is the head of his body,
which is the church.
He is the very beginning,
the first to be raised
from death,
so that he would be
above all others.
Paul’s Service to the Church
I am glad I can suffer for you. I am pleased also that in my own body I can continue the suffering of Christ for his body, the church.
Each one of you is part of the body of Christ, and you were chosen to live together in peace. So let the peace that comes from Christ control your thoughts. And be grateful.
None of us hate our own bodies. We provide for them and take good care of them, just as Christ does for the church, because we are each part of his body.
