56 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood remains in union with me, and I in union with him.+

27 Now you are Christ’s body,+ and each of you individually is a member.+

16 From him all the body+ is harmoniously joined together and made to cooperate through every joint that gives what is needed. When each respective member functions properly, this contributes to the growth of the body as it builds itself up in love.+
