Ye are the temple of God; elsewhere the apostle calls the bodies of individual believers the temples of the Holy Ghost, chap 1 Corinthians 6:19. Compare Isaiah 57:15; Isaiah 66:1-2. But here, as in Ephesians 2:20-22; 1 Peter 2:5; he has reference to the church of Christ, which is "God's building." Each true member, quickened by God's Spirit, is a living stone, and all united form a living temple, in which He dwells in a much higher and fuller sense than He dwelt in his temple of old.
