so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually parts of one another.

From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.

and that He might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the hostility.

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you also were called in one hope of your calling;

Let the peace of Christ, to which you were indeed called in one body, rule in your hearts; and be thankful.
