Corpo é o templo de Deus
O corpo do cristão é templo de Deus. Ele habita em nós pelo Espírito Santo, fazendo do crente morada viva e sagrada do Altíssimo.
Templo do Deus vivo
Vós sois o templo do Deus vivo. Deus disse: habitarei neles e entre eles andarei. O criador mora em sua criação redimida.
All of you surely know you are God’s temple and his Spirit lives in you. Together you are God’s holy temple, and God will destroy anyone who destroys his temple.
You surely know that your body is a temple where the Holy Spirit lives. The Spirit is in you and is a gift from God. You are no longer your own. God paid a great price for you. So use your body to honor God.
Do idols belong in the temple of God? We are the temple of the living God, as God himself says,
"I will live with these people
and walk among them.
I will be their God,
and they will be
my people."

Of course, every house is built by someone, and God is really the one who built everything.

I have died, but Christ lives in me. And I now live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave his life for me.
Jesus replied:
If anyone loves me, they will obey me. Then my Father will love them, and we will come to them and live in them.
My friends, the blood of Jesus gives us courage to enter the most holy place by a new way that leads to life! And this way takes us through the curtain that is Christ himself.
We have a great high priest who is in charge of God’s house. So let’s come near God with pure hearts and a confidence that comes from having faith. Let’s keep our hearts pure, our consciences free from evil, and our bodies washed with clean water.
But you are God’s chosen and special people. You are a group of royal priests and a holy nation. God has brought you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Now you must tell all the wonderful things he has done. The Scriptures say,
