For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.

Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?

If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.

Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.

For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.

Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:

Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ,(by grace ye are saved;)

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

For ye are our glory and joy.

But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
