Usage

In the New Testament, "melos" is used to refer to a part or member of the body, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. It often describes the physical limbs of a human body, but it is also used metaphorically to describe members of the body of Christ, the Church. This dual usage underscores the interconnectedness and interdependence of believers within the Christian community.
