Two come to mind, off hand :
1 Corinthians 12:12 and Romans 12:4
Another 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)

Where in the Bible is there a verse about being tormented in the grave from the things and or people you tormented?
Depends on which bible you are talking about. If you are talking about the Christian bible, you cannot be tormented in the grave. According to the beliefs of the Christian bible, if you do not accept Jesus Christ as your savior, and become born again, then you lay asleep in the grave until judgement day. This is a death sleep, one in which you will wake up and it will be just as if no time has passed. For the Christian, one who is "born again" (according to John Chapter 3), when you are absent from the body, you are present with Christ. Torment is to be separated from God, and we will answer for the things that we do, but we will not be tormented by those that we hurt, they do not have the power.
