For the body is not one member, but many.

1 Corinthians 12:12

Καθάπερ γὰρ τὸ σῶμα ἕν ἐστιν καὶ μέλη ἔχει πολλὰ πάντα δὲ τὰ μέλη τοῦ σώματος τοῦ ἑνός πολλὰ ὄντα ἕν ἐστιν σῶμα οὕτως καὶ Χριστός·
12
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
