Ephesians 1:23 Cross References - BLB

²³ which is His body, the fullness of the One filling all in all.

¹⁶ For from His fullness, we have all received and grace upon grace.

⁵ Therefore it is necessary to be subject, not only on account of wrath, but also on account of the conscience.

⁶ and there are varieties of workings, but the same God is working all things in everyone.

¹² For just as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body being many are one body, so also is Christ. ¹³ For also in one Spirit we all were baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink one Spirit. ¹⁴ For also the body is not one member, but many. ¹⁵ If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” not on account of this is it not of the body. ¹⁶ And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” not on account of this is it not of the body. ¹⁷ If all the body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If all were hearing, where would be the sense of smell? ¹⁸ But now God has arranged the members, each one of them in the body, as He desired. ¹⁹ And if all were one member, where would be the body? ²⁰ But now indeed, there are many members, but one body. ²¹ Now the eye is not able to say to the hand, “I have no need of you.” Or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” ²² But much rather, those members of the body seeming to be weaker are necessary, ²³ and those of the body we think to be less honorable, these we bestow more abundant honor. And our unpresentable parts have more abundant decorum, ²⁴ but our presentable parts have no need. But God has composed the body, having given more abundant honor to the parts being deficient, ²⁵ that there should be no division in the body, but the members should have the same concern for one another. ²⁶ And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. ²⁷ Now you are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

²⁸ Now when all things shall have been put in subjection to Him, then also the Son Himself will be put in subjection to the One having put in subjection all things to Him, so that God may be all in all.

²³ for the husband is head of the wife as also Christ is the head of the church, He Himself Savior of the body. ²⁴ But even as the church is subjected to Christ, so also wives to the own husbands in everything. ²⁵ Husbands, love the wives just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, ²⁶ so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water by the word, ²⁷ so that He might present to Himself the church in glory, not having spot or wrinkle or any of the such things, but that it would be holy and blameless. ²⁸ So also husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. The one loving his wife loves himself. ²⁹ For no one at any time hated his flesh. But he nourishes and cherishes it just as Christ also does the church. ³⁰ For we are members of His body. ³¹ “Because of this, a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will be into one flesh.” ³² This mystery is great; but I speak as to Christ and as to the church.
