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.
Don’t you know you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? Anyone who destroys God’s temple will be destroyed by God, for God’s temple is holy, and you are the temple.
Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit that is within you, that you received from God? You don’t belong to yourself—a price was paid for you! So glorify God in your body!
What compromise could the Temple of God make with idols? For we are a temple of the living God, just as God said: "I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people."
That means you’re no longer strangers and foreigners; you are fellow citizens of God’s people and belong to God’s family that’s being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together, growing to form a holy temple for the Lord. You too are being built together in him as a place for God to live by the Spirit.
Every house has its builder; God is the builder of everything. As a servant, Moses was faithful in God’s house. He provided evidence of what would be announced later. But Christ is a son, in charge of God’s house. And we are God’s house as long as we hold on with confidence to the hope we boast we believe in.

Cristo em nós
Já não sou eu quem vive, mas Cristo vive em mim. A presença de Deus no crente é privilégio e responsabilidade sagrada.
I’ve been crucified with Christ— so it’s no longer I who lives, but it is Christ living in me. The life I now live in this body, I live by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me, and who gave himself for me.
Jesus replied, "Those who love me will do as I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with them.
Now we have the confidence, brothers and sisters, to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus. Through his life and death, he opened up a brand-new, living way through the veil to God. Since we have such a great priest placed in charge over the house of God, let us come close to God with sincere minds, totally trusting in him. Our minds have been sprinkled to purify them from our evil way of thinking, and our bodies have been washed clean by pure water.
In complete contrast, you are a specially-chosen family, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God. Consequently you can reveal the wonderful things he’s done, calling you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
