SCRIPTURE

"Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" — 1 Corinthians 3:16 (ASV)

Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

Do you know it? He says, "Do you not know?" but I might leave out the "not" and say, "Know that you are the temple of God?" What a wonderful fact it is! Within the body of the saint, God dwells, as in a temple. How do some men injure their bodies or utterly despise them, though they would not do so if they understood that they are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in them.
