Temple
(body of Christ)

naos, from a prim. naio (to dwell); a fane, shrine, temple:--shrine, temple

2 Cor 6:16  And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple (naos) 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.

1 Cor 3:17  If any man defile the temple (naos) of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple (naos) of God is holy, which temple ye are.

Zec 6:12  And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: Zec 6:13  Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. Zec 6:14  And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD. Zec 6:15  And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.

1 Pet 2:1  Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 1 Pet 2:2  As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 1 Pet 2:3  If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 1 Pet 2:4  To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 1 Pet 2:5  Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

John 2:18  Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? John 2:19  Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. John 2:20  Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? John 2:21  But he spake of the temple of his body.

1 Cor 3:9  For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. 1 Cor 3:10  According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 1 Cor 3:11  For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1 Cor 3:12  Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 1 Cor 3:13  Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 1 Cor 3:14  If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 1 Cor 3:15  If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 1 Cor 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1 Cor 3:17  If any man defile the  temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 1 Cor 3:18  Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 1 Cor 3:19  For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 1 Cor 3:20  And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 1 Cor 3:21  Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;1 Cor 3:22  Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; 1 Cor 3:23  And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. 1 Cor 4:1  Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Mat 24:2  And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

Mat 21:42  Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Mat 21:43  Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. Mat 21:44  And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

· Acts 17:23  For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. Acts 17:24  God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Acts 17:25  Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; Acts 17:26  And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; Acts 17:27  That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
