Appears 34 times in Scripture
“But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me.”
“For when we lived according to the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, bearing fruit for death.”
“And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to depart into hell.”
“Just as each of us has one body with many members, and not all members have the same function,”
“I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to escalating wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness.”
“The body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Christ.”
“Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness.”
“If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.”
