It is used to illustrate the interconnectedness and interdependence of believers within the body of Christ, the Church. This concept is foundational in understanding the unity and diversity of the Christian community.<br><br><b>Biblical Usage and Meaning</b><br><br>1. <b>Literal Sense</b>: The term "members" is used in Scripture to describe the physical parts of the human body. For example, in <a href="/romans/6-13.htm">Romans 6:13</a>, Paul writes, "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." Here, "parts of your body" is translated from the Greek word "melē," often rendered as "members."<br><br>2. <b>Metaphorical Sense</b>: The metaphorical use of "members" is most prominently seen in Paul's epistles, where he describes the Church as the body of Christ. In <a href="/1_corinthians/12-12.htm">1 Corinthians 12:12-27</a>, Paul elaborates on this analogy, emphasizing that just as a body is one unit made up of many parts, so is the Church. Each member has a unique role and function, contributing to the overall health and mission of the body. Verse 27 states, "Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it."<br><br>3. <b>Unity and Diversity</b>: The concept of members highlights both the unity and diversity within the Church. <a href="/ephesians/4-16.htm">Ephesians 4:16</a> speaks to this, saying, "From Him the whole body, fitted and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love through the work of each individual part." This passage underscores the importance of each member's contribution to the growth and edification of the Church.<br><br>4. <b>Moral and Ethical Implications</b>: The idea of members also carries moral and ethical implications. Believers are called to use their bodies and their individual gifts for righteous purposes. <a href="/romans/12-4.htm">Romans 12:4-5</a> states, "Just as each of us has one body with many members, and not all members have the same function, so in Christ we who are many are one body, and each member belongs to one another." This calls Christians to live in harmony, serving one another with the gifts God has bestowed upon them.<br><br>5. <b>Struggle Against Sin</b>: The struggle against sin is also depicted using the concept of members. In <a href="/romans/7-23.htm">Romans 7:23</a>, Paul describes a war within his own body: "But I see another law at work in my body, waging war against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me." Here, the members of the body are seen as battlegrounds for spiritual warfare.<br><br><b>Theological Significance</b><br><br>Theologically, the concept of members is significant in understanding the nature of the Church and the Christian life. It emphasizes the importance of community, mutual support, and the diverse gifts within the body of Christ. Each believer is called to recognize their role and function within the Church, contributing to its mission and reflecting the unity and love of Christ to the world. The metaphor of the body and its members serves as a powerful reminder of the interconnectedness of all believers and the call to live in holiness and service.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4892.htm"><span class="l">4892. sunedrion -- a sitting together, hence a council, spec. the <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> and , "a convening, sitting together") -- "a of leading Jews (Mk 13:9, Mt 10:17),<br> or the (Aramaic form of ), , composed of 71 <b>members</b> comprising <b>members</b> of <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/4892.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 8k</font><p><a href="/greek/4954.htm"><span class="l">4954. sussomos -- of the same body</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Word Origin from sun and soma Definition of the same body NASB Word Usage fellow<br> <b>members</b> (1), fellow <b>members</b> of the body (1). of the same body. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/4954.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><p><a href="/greek/3196.htm"><span class="l">3196. melos -- a member or limb (of the body)</span></a> <br><b>...</b> any function of , such as "sanctified imagination" (Ro 6:13; Col 3:5; Js 4:1). 3196 ()<br> also specifically refers to believers as part (<b>members</b>) of (Eph 5:30). <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/3196.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><p><a href="/greek/1577.htm"><span class="l">1577. ekklesia -- an assembly, a (religious) congregation</span></a> <br><b>...</b> of kaleo; a calling out, ie (concretely) a popular meeting, especially a religious<br> congregation (Jewish synagogue, or Christian community of <b>members</b> on earth <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/1577.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 8k</font><p><a href="/greek/3019.htm"><span class="l">3019.
