Ephesians 5:30 Cross References - MNT

³⁰ for we are members of his body.

⁵ so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and we are severally members of one another.

¹⁵ You know, do you not, that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a harlot? God forbid!

¹² For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, although they be many, are one body; so also is Christ. ¹³ And we can see this, for in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jew or Gentile, whether slave or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. ¹⁴ For the body is not one member, but many. ¹⁵ If the foot should say, "Because I am a hand, I am not part a part the body," would it not indeed be a part of the body? ¹⁶ Or if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I am not a part of the body," would it be any less a part of the body? ¹⁷ If the whole body were an eye, where were hearing? If all were hearing, where were smelling? ¹⁸ But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body as it has pleased him. ¹⁹ If all were one member, where would the body be? ²⁰ But now there are many members, but one body. ²¹ And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you". nor again of head to the feet, "I have no need for you." ²² On the contrary, we need those members of the body which seem to be weaker; ²³ upon those parts of the body which we esteem less honorable, we bestow more abundant honor, and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. ²⁴ For whereas our comely parts have no need, God has tempered the body together, giving more abundant honor to that member in which lacked; ²⁵ that there should be no disunion in the body, but that members mutual care for one another. ²⁶ When one member suffers, all the others suffer with it; and when one member is honored, all the members are glad with it. ²⁷ Now you are the body of Christ, and individually members of it.

²³ which is his body, the fulness of Him who fills the universe.

¹⁹ instead of keeping connection with the Head from the whole body draws nourishment for all its needs by the joints which bind it; and is knit together, and grows with a divine growth.
