Body
The mortal, physical structure of flesh and bones created in God’s image that is combined with a spirit to make up a living person. The physical bodies of all men and women will be reunited eternally with their spirits in the resurrection. The scriptures sometimes refer to a body and spirit joined together as a soul (Gen. 2:7; D&C 88:15; Moses 3:7, 9, 19; Abr. 5:7).

- There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body:1 Cor. 15:44;

- The mortal body will be raised as an immortal body:Alma 11:43–45;
- Every part of the body shall be restored:Alma 41:2;
