1 Corinthians 3:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

16 Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.

18 Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become a fool, so that he may become wise.
