G3196–μέλος–melos

If therefore your eye, even the right eye, is a snare to you, tear it out and away with it; it is better for you that one member should be destroyed rather than that your whole body should be thrown into Gehenna.

μελῶν melōn “members”

And if your right hand is a snare to you, cut it off and away with it; it is better for you that one member should be destroyed rather than that your whole body should go into Gehenna.

μελῶν melōn “members”

For just as there are in the one human body many parts, and these parts have not all the same function;

μέλη melē “members”μέλη melē “the members”

so collectively we form one body in Christ, while individually we are linked to one another as its members.

μέλη. melē “members.”

Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them the members of a prostitute? No, indeed.

For just as the human body is one and yet has many parts, and all its parts, many as they are, constitute but one body, so it is with the Church of Christ.

μέλη melē “members”μέλη melē “members”

For the human body does not consist of one part, but of many.

μέλος melos “member”

If they were all one part, where would the body be?

μέλος, melos “member,”

In the same way the tongue is an insignificant part of the body, but it is immensely boastful. Remember how a mere spark may set a vast forest in flames.

μέλος melos “member”
