Does the Bible explicitly use the words: the Church is the Body of Christ?

THANKS!
 
It mentions the body of Christ (as the Church) in Ephesians, Romans, 1 Corinthians, Colossians, and it’s also implied in John and Galatians.

There may be others, but those are the ones I found with just a quick search. 😉
