‏ 2 Corinthians 6:16

 Agreement ( συνκαταθεσις ). Fifth of these words. Late word, but common, though here only in N.T. Approved by putting together the votes. In the papyri  εκ συνκαταθεσεως means "by agreement." On the temple of God and idols see 1Co 10:14-22. See Lu 23:51 for the verb  συνκατατιθημ.

 For we are the temple of the living God ( ημεις γαρ ναος θεου εσμεν ζωντος ). We, not temples (Ac 7:48; 17:24; 1Co 3:16; 6:19).

 As God said ( καθως ειπεν ο θεος ). A paraphrase and catena of quotations, what J. Rendel Harris calls Testimonia (from Le 26:11f.; Isa 52:11; Eze 20:34; 37:27; 2Sa 7:8, 14). Plummer notes that at the beginning "I will dwell in them" ( ενοικησω εν αυτοις ) is not in any of them. "As God said" points to Le 26:12; Eze 37:27.
