1 Corinthians 6:19

know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost See note on ch. 1 Corinthians 3:16, and cf. 2 Corinthians 6:16; Eph 2:21-22; 1 Timothy 3:15; 2 Timothy 2:20; Hebrews 3:3; 1 Peter 2:5. Observe also that God in Christ acts through the Spirit (cf. 1 Corinthians 6:11; 1 Corinthians 6:15 of this chapter), so that -we are the temple of God" because -the Spirit of God dwelleth in us." Nothing can be more effectual than the thought of such an inhabitation, as being the result of our Christian calling, to restrain us from the sin here mentioned.

which ye have of God Rather, whom ye have from God, referring to the Holy Spirit. Cf. St John 3:5; John 14:26; John 15:26; Acts 2:33. For the use of "which" for "whom," cf. -Our Father which art. in heaven," and Titus 3:6.

ye are not your own Cf. ch. 1 Corinthians 7:22; Romans 6:18; Romans 6:22; St John 8:30; also Romans 14:8. The Scriptures frequently remind us that we have passed from slavery to sin into slavery to Christ, the latter slavery, however, being the true freedom of man, enabling him to fulfil the law of his being.
