Usage: The word ἁρμός is used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe the unity and cohesion of the body of Christ, the Church, where each member is joined together to form a complete and functioning whole. Context: The Greek term ἁρμός appears in the New Testament to illustrate the concept of unity and interdependence within the body of Christ. In Ephesians 4:16, the Apostle Paul uses this term to describe how the Church, as the body of Christ, is "joined and held together by every supporting ligament." This imagery emphasizes the importance of each member's role and contribution to the overall health and growth of the Church. The metaphor of a body with its joints and ligaments highlights the necessity of cooperation and harmony among believers, as each part is essential for the proper functioning of the whole. The use of ἁρμός underscores the divine design and purpose in the organization of the Church, where every believer is uniquely placed and gifted to serve and support one another in love.
