‏ 1 Corinthians 3:16

Ye are a temple of God ( ναος θεου εστε ). Literally, a sanctuary ( ναος, not ιερον, the sacred enclosure, but the holy place and the most holy place) of God. The same picture of building as in verse 9 ( οικοδομη ), only here the sanctuary itself.

Dwelleth in you ( εν υμιν οικε ). The Spirit of God makes his home ( οικε ) in us, not in temples made with hands (Ac 7:48; 17:24).
