The first letter of the apostle Paul to the believers of the Corinthians
What does it mean to be a ‘church’? What does it mean to be a ‘temple’?
In the first letter of the Apostle Paul to the believers in Corinth God says,
“Or do you no know that your body is the temple of the holy Spirit who lives in you? Well you have this Spirit from God. You do not rule over yourselves because you were bought for a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
