The body of Christ builds itself (Eph 4). Let that sink in for a moment. Jesus is the Christ, both head and body (1 Cor 12:12). He's what Augustine called the totus Christus, the whole Christ. He doesn't perfect His own body--His own whole self-- directly. We're the hands and tools by which He builds His body. We fill up the fullness of Christ. By the power of the Holy Spirit, in Christ, we make the ark that we are.

"Adam ends his poem with a play on words, which works as well in English as in Hebrew: She shall be called "woman" ('ishshah) because she was taken from "man" ('ish). Adam is only a few hours old, and he's already making puns (a sign, perhaps, that humanity is doomed from the outset)."
