Do you discern and understand that you [the whole church at Corinth] are God's temple (His sanctuary), and that God's Spirit has permanent dwelling in you [to be at home in you, collectively as a church and also individually]?
  

If anyone does hurt to God's temple or corrupts it [with false doctrines] or destroys it, God will do hurt to him and bring him to the corruption of death and destroy him. For the temple of God is holy (sacred to Him) and that [temple] you [the believing church and its individual believers] are.
