¹⁶ Do you not discern and understand that you [the whole church at Corinth] are God’s temple (His sanctuary), and that God’s Spirit has His permanent dwelling in you [to be at home in you, ^[a]collectively as a church and also individually]?

For the temple of God is holy (sacred to Him) and that [temple] you [^[e]the believing church and its individual believers] are.
