16 Do YOU not know that YOU people are God’s temple,*+ and that the spirit of God dwells in YOU?+

16 And what agreement does God’s temple* have with idols?+ For we are a temple+ of a living God; just as God said: “I shall reside among them+ and walk among [them], and I shall be their God, and they will be my people.”+

21 In union with him the whole building, being harmoniously joined together,*+ is growing into a holy temple* for Jehovah.*+

5 YOU yourselves also as living stones are being built up a spiritual house+ for the purpose of a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices+ acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.+

17 For it is the appointed time for the judgment to start with the house of God.+ Now if it starts first with us,+ what will the end be of those who are not obedient to the good news of God?+
