God's Temple in the Bible: 1 Corinthians 3:16-17


The idea that the human body is "God's temple," found in this passage, is a profound argument against violence--either violence inflicted on others, or inflicted on ourselves. We're made in God's image, and not just our souls but also our bodies have a special value in reflecting that image.

“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.”
