Is there a Bible verse that talks about you are the body of Christ?
Two come to mind, off hand :1 Corinthians 12:12 and Romans 12:4Another perspective:Yes, but there's a wrinkle to the teaching that should be understood. This is never said of a lone individual; the New Testament teaches that the church is the "body of Christ:" Ephesians 1:22, 23 - And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.And it likens individual members to parts of the body, each with its own function and purpose, united in common goals and interest.1 Corinthians 12:12-14 - For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body - whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free-and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. For in fact the body is not one member but many.Romans 12:4, 5 - For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.It's in this "collective" regard, as one of "many members," that Paul writes:Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. (1 Cor. 12:27)[Quotes from NKJV]..
What do the epistles call the church?

What does it mean when you say you are the Body of Christ?
i.e loosely means "As an example". So your saying that you are the Body of Christ, you are really saying that your example or your actions are like that of Christ.Catholic AnswerThe Church is the Mystical Body of Christ. Through the Sacraments, grace is given to each member, and through the Sacraments each members becomes part of the Body of Christ. This is a great mystery but very real, Christ is Head of His Mystical Body and we are all part of it, through our Baptism. The unity of the Mystical Body produces and stimulate charity among the faithful: "From this it follows that if one member suffers anything, all the members suffer with him, and if one member is honored, all the members together rejoice." (Lumen Gentium 7, #3; cf. 1 Cor12:26) This flows from the fact that we are all governed by one and the same Spirit. "None of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself." (Rom 14:7) This life, this common life, in the one Body, which begins in Baptism, grows and is nourished by the Eucharist, which is the actual Body of Christ. Sin shatters this unity and it is only through the Sacrament of Penance that we are reunited to the Mystical Body.
