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.
12 Just as for the body one is, and members has many, all but the members of the body of the one, many being, one is body; thus also the Anointed.
27 You but are a body of Anointed, and members from parts.
15 Not know you, that the bodies of you members of Anointed is? having taken away then the members of the Anointed, shall I make of an harlots members? not let it be.
4 Just as for in one body members many we have, the but members all not the same has operation;5 thus the many one body we are in Anointed, the but each one, of each other members.
4 One body and one spirit, even as also you were called in one hope of the calling of you;
16 from whom all the body, (being fitly joined together and being compacted by means of every joint of the supply according to inworking,) by a measure of one of each part the growth of the body makes, for a building up of itself in 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.
18 and he is the head of the body, of the congregation; who is a beginning, firstborn out of the dead ones, so that he might become among all himself preeminent;
24 Now I rejoice in the sufferings on behalf of you, and I fill up the wants of the afflictions of the Anointed one in the flesh of me on behalf of the body of him, which is the congregation;
15 and the peace of the Anointed one let preside in the hearts of you, for which also you were called in one body; and thankful ones become you.
29 no one for ever the of himself flesh hated, but nourishes and cherishes her; as even the Anointed the congregation;30 because members we are of the body of him, out of the flesh of him, and out of the bones of him.
