Ephesians 2:22

22: Through him you Gentiles are also joined together as part of this dwelling where God lives by his Spirit.

Come to Christ, who is the living cornerstone of God's temple. He was rejected by the people, but he is precious to God who chose him.
And now God is building you, as living stones, into his spiritual temple. What's more, you are God's holy priests, who offer the spiritual sacrifices that please him because of Jesus Christ.

Don't you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you?

But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them are not Christians at all.)
Since Christ lives within you, even though your body will die because of sin, your spirit is alive because you have been made right with God.
The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as he raised Christ from the dead, he will give life to your mortal body by this same Spirit living within you.

My prayer for all of them is that they will be one, just as you and I are one, Father--that just as you are in me and I am in you, so they will be in us, and the world will believe you sent me.
"I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are--
I in them and you in me, all being perfected into one. Then the world will know that you sent me and will understand that you love them as much as you love me.

We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in him. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.

Or don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself,

He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world at large cannot receive him, because it isn't looking for him and doesn't recognize him. But you do, because he lives with you now and later will be in you.
No, I will not abandon you as orphans--I will come to you.
In just a little while the world will not see me again, but you will. For I will live again, and you will, too.
When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
Those who obey my commandments are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them, and I will love them. And I will reveal myself to each one of them."

And what union can there be between God's temple and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God said: "I will live in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

Those who obey God's commandments live in fellowship with him, and he with them. And we know he lives in us because the Holy Spirit lives in us.

And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love.
