“So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.”
so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. — En Christō (in Christ), the many (hoi polloi) become one body. Belong (eimi) to one another establishes mutual obligation and interdependence. The body metaphor moves from natural anatomy to ecclesiology: church is Christ's body wherein each member finds identity through the whole.
