THE TEMPLE OF GOD IS HOLY, WHICH TEMPLE YE ARE

THE TEMPLE OF GOD IS HOLY, WHICH TEMPLE YE ARE

Matthew 23:17 

Ye Fools And Blind: For Whether Is Greater, The Gold, Or The Temple That Sanctifieth The Gold?

1 Corinthians 3:4-17 

For While One Saith, I Am Of Paul; And Another, I Am Of Apollos; Are Ye Not Carnal? Who Then Is Paul, And Who Is Apollos, But Ministers By Whom Ye Believed, Even As The Lord Gave To Every Man? I Have Planted, Apollos Watered; But God Gave The Increase. So Then Neither Is He That Planteth Any Thing, Neither He That Watereth; But God That Giveth The Increase. Now He That Planteth And He That Watereth Are One: And Every Man Shall Receive His Own Reward According To His Own Labour. For We Are Labourers Together With God: Ye Are God's Husbandry, Ye Are God's Building. According To The Grace Of God Which Is Given Unto Me, As A Wise Masterbuilder, I Have Laid The Foundation, And Another Buildeth Thereon. But Let Every Man Take Heed How He Buildeth Thereupon. For Other Foundation Can No Man Lay Than That Is Laid, Which Is Jesus Christ. Now If Any Man Build Upon This Foundation Gold, Silver, Precious Stones, Wood, Hay, Stubble; Every Man's Work Shall Be Made Manifest: For The Day Shall Declare It, Because It Shall Be Revealed By Fire; And The Fire Shall Try Every Man's Work Of What Sort It Is. If Any Man's Work Abide Which He Hath Built Thereupon, He Shall Receive A Reward. If Any Man's Work Shall Be Burned, He Shall Suffer Loss: But He Himself Shall Be Saved; Yet So As By Fire. Know Ye Not That Ye Are The Temple Of God, And That The Spirit Of God Dwelleth In You? If Any Man Defile The Temple Of God, Him Shall God Destroy; For THE TEMPLE OF GOD IS HOLY, WHICH TEMPLE YE ARE.

2 Corinthians 3:3-8 

Forasmuch As Ye Are Manifestly Declared To Be The Epistle Of Christ Ministered By Us, Written Not With Ink, But With The Spirit Of The Living God; Not In Tables Of Stone, But In Fleshy Tables Of The Heart. And Such Trust Have We Through Christ To God-ward: Not That We Are Sufficient Of Ourselves To Think Any Thing As Of Ourselves; But Our Sufficiency Is Of God; Who Also Hath Made Us Able Ministers Of The New Testament; Not Of The Letter, But Of The Spirit: For The Letter Killeth, But The Spirit Giveth Life. But If The Ministration Of Death, Written And Engraven In Stones, Was Glorious, So That The Children Of Israel Could Not Stedfastly Behold The Face Of Moses For The Glory Of His Countenance; Which Glory Was To Be Done Away: How Shall Not The Ministration Of The Spirit Be Rather Glorious?

Ephesians 4:1-7 

I Therefore, The Prisoner Of The Lord, Beseech You That Ye Walk Worthy Of The Vocation Wherewith Ye Are Called, With All Lowliness And Meekness, With Longsuffering, Forbearing One Another In Love; Endeavouring To Keep The Unity Of The Spirit In The Bond Of Peace. There Is One Body, And One Spirit, Even As Ye Are Called In One Hope Of Your Calling; One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, One God And Father Of All, Who Is Above All, And Through All, And In You All. But Unto Every One Of Us Is Given Grace According To The Measure Of The Gift Of Christ.

Romans 12:1-21 

I Beseech You Therefore, Brethren, By The Mercies Of God, That Ye Present Your Bodies A Living Sacrifice, Holy, Acceptable Unto God, Which Is Your Reasonable Service. And Be Not Conformed To This World: But Be Ye Transformed By The Renewing Of Your Mind, That Ye May Prove What Is That Good, And Acceptable, And Perfect, Will Of God. For I Say, Through The Grace Given Unto Me, To Every Man That Is Among You, Not To Think Of Himself More Highly Than He Ought To Think; But To Think Soberly, According As God Hath Dealt To Every Man The Measure Of Faith. For As We Have Many Members In One Body, And All Members Have Not The Same Office: So We, Being Many, Are One Body In Christ, And Every One Members One Of Another. Having Then Gifts Differing According To The Grace That Is Given To Us, Whether Prophecy, Let Us Prophesy According To The Proportion Of Faith; Or Ministry, Let Us Wait On Our Ministering: Or He That Teacheth, On Teaching; Or He That Exhorteth, On Exhortation: He That Giveth, Let Him Do It With Simplicity; He That Ruleth, With Diligence; He That Sheweth Mercy, With Cheerfulness. Let Love Be Without Dissimulation. Abhor That Which Is Evil; Cleave To That Which Is Good. Be Kindly Affectioned One To Another With Brotherly Love; In Honour Preferring One Another; Not Slothful In Business; Fervent In Spirit; Serving The Lord; Rejoicing In Hope; Patient In Tribulation; Continuing Instant In Prayer; Distributing To The Necessity Of Saints; Given To Hospitality. Bless Them Which Persecute You: Bless, And Curse Not. Rejoice With Them That Do Rejoice, And Weep With Them That Weep. Be Of The Same Mind One Toward Another. Mind Not High Things, But Condescend To Men Of Low Estate. Be Not Wise In Your Own Conceits. Recompense To No Man Evil For Evil. Provide Things Honest In The Sight Of All Men. If It Be Possible, As Much As Lieth In You, Live Peaceably With All Men. Dearly Beloved, Avenge Not Yourselves, But Rather Give Place Unto Wrath: For It Is Written, Vengeance Is Mine; I Will Repay, Saith The Lord. Therefore If Thine Enemy Hunger, Feed Him; If He Thirst, Give Him Drink: For In So Doing Thou Shalt Heap Coals Of Fire On His Head. Be Not Overcome Of Evil, But Overcome Evil With Good.

1 Corinthians 12:3-31,13:1-13

Wherefore I Give You To Understand, That No Man Speaking By The Spirit Of God Calleth Jesus Accursed: And That No Man Can Say That Jesus Is The Lord, But By The Holy Ghost. Now There Are Diversities Of Gifts, But The Same Spirit. And There Are Differences Of Administrations, But The Same Lord. And There Are Diversities Of Operations, But It Is The Same God Which Worketh All In All. But The Manifestation Of The Spirit Is Given To Every Man To Profit Withal. For To One Is Given By The Spirit The Word Of Wisdom; To Another The Word Of Knowledge By The Same Spirit; To Another Faith By The Same Spirit; To Another The Gifts Of Healing By The Same Spirit; To Another The Working Of Miracles; To Another Prophecy; To Another Discerning Of Spirits; To Another Divers Kinds Of Tongues; To Another The Interpretation Of Tongues: But All These Worketh That One And The Selfsame Spirit, Dividing To Every Man Severally As He Will. For As The Body Is One, And Hath Many Members, And All The Members Of That One Body, Being Many, Are One Body: So Also Is Christ. For By One Spirit Are We All Baptized Into One Body, Whether We Be Jews Or Gentiles, Whether We Be Bond Or Free; And Have Been All Made To Drink Into One Spirit. For The Body Is Not One Member, But Many. If The Foot Shall Say, Because I Am Not The Hand, I Am Not Of The Body; Is It Therefore Not Of The Body? And If The Ear Shall Say, Because I Am Not The Eye, I Am Not Of The Body; Is It Therefore Not Of The Body? If The Whole Body Were An Eye, Where Were The Hearing? If The Whole Were Hearing, Where Were The Smelling? But Now Hath God Set The Members Every One Of Them In The Body, As It Hath Pleased Him. And If They Were All One Member, Where Were The Body? But Now Are They Many Members, Yet But One Body. And The Eye Cannot Say Unto The Hand, I Have No Need Of Thee: Nor Again The Head To The Feet, I Have No Need Of You. Nay, Much More Those Members Of The Body, Which Seem To Be More Feeble, Are Necessary: And Those Members Of The Body, Which We Think To Be Less Honourable, Upon These We Bestow More Abundant Honour; And Our Uncomely Parts Have More Abundant Comeliness. For Our Comely Parts Have No Need: But God Hath Tempered The Body Together, Having Given More Abundant Honour To That Part Which Lacked: That There Should Be No Schism In The Body; But That The Members Should Have The Same Care One For Another. And Whether One Member Suffer, All The Members Suffer With It; Or One Member Be Honoured, All The Members Rejoice With It. Now Ye Are The Body Of Christ, And Members In Particular. And God Hath Set Some In The Church, First Apostles, Secondarily Prophets, Thirdly Teachers, After That Miracles, Then Gifts Of Healings, Helps, Governments, Diversities Of Tongues. Are All Apostles? Are All Prophets? Are All Teachers? Are All Workers Of Miracles? Have All The Gifts Of Healing? Do All Speak With Tongues? Do All Interpret? But Covet Earnestly The Best Gifts: And Yet Shew I Unto You A More Excellent Way. Though I Speak With The Tongues Of Men And Of Angels, And Have Not Charity, I Am Become As Sounding Brass, Or A Tinkling Cymbal. And Though I Have The Gift Of Prophecy, And Understand All Mysteries, And All Knowledge; And Though I Have All Faith, So That I Could Remove Mountains, And Have Not Charity, I Am Nothing. And Though I Bestow All My Goods To Feed The Poor, And Though I Give My Body To Be Burned, And Have Not Charity, It Profiteth Me Nothing. Charity Suffereth Long, And Is Kind; Charity Envieth Not; Charity Vaunteth Not Itself, Is Not Puffed Up, Doth Not Behave Itself Unseemly, Seeketh Not Her Own, Is Not Easily Provoked, Thinketh No Evil; Rejoiceth Not In Iniquity, But Rejoiceth In The Truth; Beareth All Things, Believeth All Things, Hopeth All Things, Endureth All Things. Charity Never Faileth: But Whether There Be Prophecies, They Shall Fail; Whether There Be Tongues, They Shall Cease; Whether There Be Knowledge, It Shall Vanish Away. For We Know In Part, And We Prophesy In Part. But When That Which Is Perfect Is Come, Then That Which Is In Part Shall Be Done Away. When I Was A Child, I Spake As A Child, I Understood As A Child, I Thought As A Child: But When I Became A Man, I Put Away Childish Things. For Now We See Through A Glass, Darkly; But Then Face To Face: Now I Know In Part; But Then Shall I Know Even As Also I Am Known. And Now Abideth Faith, Hope, Charity, These Three; But The Greatest Of These Is Charity.

Hebrews 6:1-3 

Therefore Leaving The Principles Of The Doctrine Of Christ, Let Us Go On Unto Perfection; Not Laying Again The Foundation Of Repentance From Dead Works, And Of Faith Toward God, Of The Doctrine Of Baptisms, And Of Laying On Of Hands, And Of Resurrection Of The Dead, And Of Eternal Judgment. And This Will We Do, If God Permit.

2 Peter 3:17-18 

Ye Therefore, Beloved, Seeing Ye Know These Things Before, Beware Lest Ye Also, Being Led Away With The Error Of The Wicked, Fall From Your Own Stedfastness. But Grow In Grace, And In The Knowledge Of Our Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him Be Glory Both Now And For Ever. Amen.
