1 Corinthians 6:15
King James Version
28 Jul 2026
“Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.”
σῶμα
Body, physical form. Sōma. You were bought with a price, so glorify God in your body. The physical is not incidental to faith. Honor what carries the image.
μέλος
members

μέλος
Member, body part. Melos. You are the body of Christ and each one of you is a part of it. Every member matters. An unused body part atrophies. Use what God gave you.
