BODY

4983 SOMA (142): a body. Usually a physical or a figurative human body, or believers as a group representing the "body" of the Anointed One.

See "flesh" (4561 sarx) for its many references to the human body, as in 2Jn.7: "...because many deceivers went out into the world, those not acknowledging Jesus as the Anointed One coming in the flesh (sarx)."

A LITERAL HUMAN BODY; as in Jas.2.15-16: "If a brother or a sister is naked and lacking daily food, and any one of you says, 'Go in peace, be warmed and filled;' but you+ do not give them the necessities of the body, what is the benefit?". Or, change of the body from physical to spiritual in 1Co.15.44: "...it is planted a sensory body, [but] it is raised a spiritual body."

CHRISTIANS AS THE BODY (EKKLESIA) OF THE ANOINTED ONE; as in Rom.12.4-5: "For as we [each] have many parts in one body (soma), but the parts do not all have the same function, so we the many are one body (soma) in the Anointed One and partners one with another."
