¹⁵ Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself?^(A) Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!

³⁰ for we are members of his body.^(A)

⁵ so in Christ we, though many, form one body,^(A) and each member belongs to all the others.

¹⁹ They have lost connection with the head,^(A) from whom the whole body,^(B) supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.^(C)

¹⁵ Instead, speaking the truth in love,^(A) we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head,^(B) that is, Christ. ¹⁶ From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows^(C) and builds itself up^(D) in love,^(E) as each part does its work.

²⁷ Now you are the body of Christ,^(A) and each one of you is a part of it.^(B)

¹² to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ^(A) may be built up^(B)

³ But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ,^(A) and the head of the woman is man,^[a](B) and the head of Christ is God.^(C)

¹⁹ Do you not know that your bodies are temples^(A) of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;^(B)

¹⁶ He will come and kill those tenants^(A) and give the vineyard to others.”
