1 Corinthians 12:27

“Now ye are the body of Christ, etc.] Not his natural body, which his Father prepared for him, in which he bore our sins on the tree, and which was offered up once for all; nor his sacramental body, or the bread in the supper, which is a representation of his body; but his body mystical, the church; not that the Corinthians were the whole of the body, only a part of it, as every single congregational church is of the church universal.

The church is often called the body of Christ; Ephesians 1:23; Colossians 1:18, Colossians 1:24. And members in particular - You…”

“Now ye - Corinthians. Are the body and members of Christ - part of them, I mean, not the whole body. 1 Corinthians 12:28”
