Some places where σῶμα appears in Paul's first letter to the Corinthians. I have limited the usages to the sixth chapter of 1 Corinthians:
ἀπὼν τῷ σώματι παρὼν δὲ (1 Corinthians 5:3)
τὸ δὲ σῶμα οὐ τῇ (1 Cor. 6:13)
κύριος τῷ σώματι (1 Cor. 6:13)
ὅτι τὰ σώματα ὑμῶν μέλη (1 Cor. 6:15)
πόρνῃ ἓν σῶμά ἐστιν Ἔσονται (1 Cor. 6:16)
ἐκτὸς τοῦ σώματός ἐστιν ὁ (1 Cor. 6:18)
τὸ ἴδιον σῶμα ἁμαρτάνει (1 Cor. 6:18)
ὅτι τὸ σῶμα ὑμῶν ναὸς (1 Cor. 6:19)
ἐν τῷ σώματι ὑμῶν καὶ (1 Cor. 6:20)
Compare 1 Cor. 7:4, 34; 9:27.
I notice that Paul later turns to a discussion of the corporate body (Christ's bride): See 1 Cor. 10:17; 12:12-27. The letter ends with a treatment of the resurrection body, which Paul describes as spiritual.
