English Standard Version

Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?

1 Corinthians 3:16

Paul writes:

It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.

Galatians 2:20

1 Corinthians 3 (English Standard Version)

13 each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done.
14 If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward.
15 If anyone's work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
16 Do you not know that you 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 anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.
19 For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their craftiness,”

Galatians 2 (English Standard Version)

17 But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not!
18 For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor.
19 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.
20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.

Don't you know you are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?

1 Corinthians 3:16

Paul wrote:

It's no longer I who lives, but it is Christ living in me.

Galatians 2:20

1 Corinthians 3 (Free Bible Version)

13 but whatever is used to build with will be exposed. For on the Day of Judgment fire will reveal it and test it. Everyone's work will be shown for what it is.
14 Those whose building survives will be rewarded.
15 Those whose building is burned up will lose out. They will still be saved, but it will be like passing through fire!
16 Don't you know you are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?
17 Anyone who destroys God's temple will be destroyed by God, for God's temple is holy, and you are the temple.
18 Don't deceive yourselves. If there's anyone of you who thinks they're worldly wise, they should become fools so they can become truly wise!
19 This world's wisdom is plain foolishness to God. As Scripture says, “He uses the cleverness of the wise to catch them out,”

Galatians 2 (Free Bible Version)

17 For if, as we look to be made right in Christ, we ourselves prove to be sinners, does that then mean that Christ is in the service of sin? Of course not!
18 For if I were to rebuild what I've destroyed, then I only demonstrate I'm a law-breaker.
19 For through the law I died to the law in order that I could live for God.
20 I've been crucified with Christ— so it's no longer I who lives, but it is Christ living in me. The life I now live in this body, I live by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me, and who gave himself for me.
21 How could I dismiss God's grace? For if we could be made right through keeping the law then Christ died a pointless death!
