¹⁸ So the Jews said to him, ^(A)“What sign do you show us for doing these things?” ¹⁹ Jesus answered them, ^(B)“Destroy this temple, and in three days ^(C)I will raise it up.” ²⁰ The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple,^[a] and will you raise it up in three days?” ²¹ But he was speaking about ^(D)the temple of his body. ²² When therefore he was raised from the dead, ^(E)his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed ^(F)the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

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

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

¹⁹ So then you are no longer ^(A)strangers and aliens,^[a] but you are ^(B)fellow citizens with the saints and ^(C)members of the household of God, ^20 (D)built on the foundation of the ^(E)apostles and prophets, ^(F)Christ Jesus himself being ^(G)the cornerstone, ^21 (H)in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into ^(I)a holy temple in the Lord. ²² In him ^(J)you also are being built together ^(K)into a dwelling place for God by^[b] the Spirit.

⁴ As you come to him, a living stone ^(A)rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, ^5 (B)you yourselves like living stones are being built up as ^(C)a spiritual house, to be ^(D)a holy priesthood, ^(E)to offer spiritual sacrifices ^(F)acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
