Occurrences of Soma in 1 Corinthians (Chapter 6)

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.
