¹⁹ Or do you not know that your body is a temple^[a] of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own?^(A)

¹⁶ Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?^[a](A)

¹⁶ What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we^[a] are the temple of the living God, as God said,

²¹ in him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord,^{(A) 22} in whom you also are built together spiritually^[a] into a dwelling place for God.

¹⁵ Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Should I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!^{(A) 16} Do you not know that whoever is united to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For it is said, “The two shall be one flesh.”^(B)

¹⁴ He it is who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds.^(A)

⁷ For we do not live to ourselves, and we do not die to ourselves.^{(A) 8} If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. ⁹ For to this end Christ died and lived again, so that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.^(B)
