1 Corinthians 3:17
_ _ If any ... defile ... destroy — rather as the Greek verb is the same in both cases, “destroy ... destroy.” God repays in kind by a righteous retaliation. The destroyer shall himself be destroyed. As temporal death was the penalty of marring the material temple (Leviticus 16:2; Daniel 5:2, Daniel 5:3, Daniel 5:30), so eternal death is the penalty of marring the spiritual temple — the Church. The destroyers here (1 Corinthians 3:16, 1 Corinthians 3:17), are distinct from the unwise or unskillful builders (1 Corinthians 3:12, 1 Corinthians 3:15); the latter held fast the “foundation” (1 Corinthians 3:11), and, therefore, though they lose their work of superstructure and the special reward, yet they are themselves saved; the destroyers, on the contrary, assailed with false teaching the foundation, and so subvert the temple itself, and shall therefore be destroyed. (See on 1 Corinthians 3:10), [Estius and Neander]. I think Paul passes here from the teachers to all the members of the Church, who, by profession, are “priests unto God” (Exodus 19:6; 1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 1:6). As the Aaronic priests were doomed to die if they violated the old temple (Exodus 28:43), so any Christian who violates the sanctity of the spiritual temple, shall perish eternally (Hebrews 12:14; Hebrews 10:26, Hebrews 10:31).
_ _ holy — inviolable (Habakkuk 2:20).
_ _ which temple ye are — rather, “the which (that is, holy) are ye” [Alford], and, therefore, want of holiness on the part of any of you (or, as Estius, “to tamper with the foundation in teaching you”) is a violation of the temple, which cannot be let to pass with impunity. Grotius supports English Version. |
1 Corinthians 3:17
If any man destroy the temple of God — Destroy a real Christian, by schisms, or doctrines fundamentally wrong. Him shall God destroy — He shall not be saved at all; not even as through the fire." |
1 Corinthians 3:17
If any man (f) defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are.
(f) Defiles it and makes it unclean, being holy: and surely they do defile it, by Paul's judgment, who by fleshly eloquence defile the purity of the Gospel. |
