Sōma is the body — created good, fallen, redeemed, and to be raised. The New Testament will not split body from soul: God saves whole people, body included.

Paul also stretches the word to a beautiful new use: the church is the sōma of Christ, many members serving the same head. Christianity is therefore deeply embodied — at communion, in service, and finally at the resurrection of the sōma.
