I AM GOD’S TEMPLE

1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 6:19-20

Don't you know that your body is
the temple of the Holy Spirit, who
lives in you and was given to you
by God? You do not belong to
yourself, for God bought you with
a high price. So you must honor
God with your body.
– 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Don't you realize that all of you
together are the temple of God
and that the Spirit of God lives in
you? God will bring ruin upon
anyone who ruins this temple.
For God's temple is holy, and
you Christians are that temple.
– 1 Corinthians 3:16-17
