As the body is one, and hath many members, . . . so also [is] Christ.
He is the head of the body, the church.--The head over all [things] to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.--We are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
A body hast thou prepared me.--Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all [my members] were written, [which] in continuance were fashioned, when [as yet there was] none of them.
Thine they were, and thou gavest them me.--He hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world.--Whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son.
Grow up into him in all things, which is the head, [even] Christ: from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, . . . maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
