Lesson 9 Amplified -- SOMA

SOMA --SOMAI

American singular: body -- plural: bodies

Hebrew Aramaic singular: geviyah 

In the New Blood Covenant, soma is used both for the human body and for the whole, worldwide Church, which is the bride of our Lord Jesus the Christos. 

Almost Greek: [Words in italics are translator’s additions.] 

1^st Thessalonians 5.23: May the Theos of peace Himself make you absolutely, perfectly hagios [holy, sacred, consecrated], perfectly sound in your pneuma and that your psuche and your soma may be faultlessly kept in the return of our Kurios Jesus the Christos. He calling you is worthy of your pistis [reliance upon, faith] Who also will do the fulfilling of your call. 

1^st Corinthians 6.12: All is lawful to me but not all makes a positive contribution. All is lawful to me; conversely, I won't be controlled by anything. Foods are for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but Theos will render entirely idle [useless] both this stomach and these foods. The soma isn’t for porneia [whoring, incest, non-marital sexual intercourse]; conversely, it’s for the Kurio and the Kurios for the somati. Now Theos also awakened [from death] our Kurion and will fully rouse us from death via his dunameos [force, power]. Don’t you know that your somata are limbs of the Christou? Then shall I take the limbs of the Christou and make of them limbs pornes [of a whore]? Not let it be caused to be! Or don’t you know that he being joined [coupled] to a porne is being in one soma with her? For he says, “The two will be into one flesh.”

 

GENESIS 2.24: [Adam prophesying] “Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother and shall impinge [ram, couple, cling, adhere] to his wife and they shall be into one flesh.”

 

1^st Corinthians 10.15: As to the wise I say, “Distinguish what I say.” “Isn’t the cup of eulogias [fine speaking, commendation, blessing, eulogy] that with which we eulogoumen [speak well of, praise, bless] a koinonia [sharing, partnership] in the blood of the Christou? Isn’t the bread which we break a koinonia in the somatos of the Christou? Because of the One Bread, we many are one soma, for we all share the One Bread.

 

1^st Corinthians 11.23: For I received from the Kuriou what I also transmitted to you: that the Kurios Jesus (in the night in which he was surrendered to the Judaeans) took a loaf of bread and eucharistesas [having given thanks to Theos], broke it and said, “Take! Eat! This is my soma broken on your behalf. Do this for My remembrance.” And in the same way He took the cup [traditionally set at every Passover dining table for the Mashiyach; ‘the Anointed One, Messiah] after the dining, saying, “THIS CUP is the New Covenant in My blood. Do this, as often as you imbibe, for My remembrance.” For as often as you may eat His bread and drink His cup you kataggellete [promulgate, publish, officially make known] the death of the Kuriou, until He may come. So too, whoever may irreverently eat this Bread or drink the Cup of the Kuriou is liable for the somatos and for the blood of the Kuriou. But let a man test himself and so let him eat of this Bread and let him drink of the Cup, for he (irreverently eating and drinking) eats and drinks a krima [decision, judgment rendered, verdict] to himself, for not discerning the soma of the Kurios. Via this violation are in [among] you many who are weak and infirm and many sleep [are dead]. 

1^st Corinthians 12.12: For the soma is one and has many limbs but all the limbs of the one somatos (being many) are one soma; so also, it is in the Christos. Also, by one Hagios Pneuma, we were all ebaptisthemen [emersed, submerged, baptized] into one soma; whether Jews or Greeks [non-Jews]; whether slaves or free. Also, we were all given to drink into ourselves one Hagios Pneuma, for the soma isn’t one limb, conversely, many.  

Colossians 1.13: [He, Theos, Father God] Who rescued us emergent from the authority of shadiness and transferred us into the Kingdom of the Son of His agapes [unconditional love]; He in Whom we have redemption via His [Jesus’] blood; the freedom of [from] hamartion [a miss of the mark or goal, offense, sin]. He Who is the eikon [image, likeness, statue, icon] of the invisible Theos (the firstborn of all creation), because in Him all was created: the things in the ouranois [elevation, the heavens, the sky, aloft] and the things upon the earth; the seen [visible] and the invisible (whether thrones or lordships or rank or authorities). All has been created via Him and to Him and He IS before the birth of the whole of creation, and all is presented in Him. Also, He is the Head of the somatos (the ekklesias [assembly, church]).
