1 Corinthians 6:19
_ _ What? know ye not? etc. — Proof that “he that fornicates sinneth against his own body” (1 Corinthians 6:18).
_ _ your body — not “bodies.” As in 1 Corinthians 3:17, he represented the whole company of believers (souls and bodies), that is, the Church, as “the temple of God,” the Spirit; so here, the body of each individual of the Church is viewed as the ideal “temple of the Holy Ghost.” So John 17:23, which proves that not only the Church, but also each member of it, is “the temple of the Holy Ghost.” Still though many the several members form one temple, the whole collectively being that which each is in miniature individually. Just as the Jews had one temple only, so in the fullest sense all Christian churches and individual believers form one temple only. Thus “YOUR [plural] body” is distinguished here from “HIS OWN [particular or individual] body” (1 Corinthians 6:18). In sinning against the latter, the fornicator sins against “your (ideal) body,” that of “Christ,” whose “members your bodies” are (1 Corinthians 6:15). In this consists the sin of fornication, that it is a sacrilegious desecration of God’s temple to profane uses. The unseen, but much more efficient, Spirit of God in the spiritual temple now takes the place of the visible Shekinah in the old material temple. The whole man is the temple; the soul is the inmost shrine; the understanding and heart, the holy place; and the body, the porch and exterior of the edifice. Chastity is the guardian of the temple to prevent anything unclean entering which might provoke the indwelling God to abandon it as defiled [Tertullian, On the Apparel of Women]. None but God can claim a temple; here the Holy Ghost is assigned one; therefore the Holy Ghost is God.
_ _ not your own — The fornicator treats his body as if it were “his own,” to give to a harlot if he pleases (1 Corinthians 6:18; compare 1 Corinthians 6:20). But we have no right to alienate our body which is the Lord’s. In ancient servitude the person of the servant was wholly the property of the master, not his own. Purchase was one of the ways of acquiring a slave. Man has sold himself to sin (1 Kings 21:20; Romans 7:14). Christ buys him to Himself, to serve Him (Romans 6:16-22). |
1 Corinthians 6:19
And even your body is not, strictly speaking, your own even this is the temple of the Holy Ghost — Dedicated to him, and inhabited by him. What the apostle calls elsewhere "the temple of God," 1 Corinthians 3:16-17, and "the temple of the living God," 2 Corinthians 6:16, he here styles the temple of the Holy Ghost; plainly showing that the Holy Ghost is the living God. |
1 Corinthians 6:19
(14) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and (15) ye are not your own?
(14) The third argument: because a fornicator is sacrilegious, because our bodies are consecrated to God.
(15) The fourth argument: because we are not our own men, to give ourselves to any other, much less to Satan and the flesh, seeing that God himself has bought us, and that with a great price, to the end that both in body and soul, we should serve to his glory. |
- What:
1 Corinthians 6:15-16 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make [them] the members of an harlot? God forbid. ... What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
|
- your body:
1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
2 Corinthians 6:16 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.
