【林前3:16-17】16岂不知你们是神的殿，神的灵住在你们里头吗？17若有人毁坏神的殿，神必要毁坏那人，因为神的殿是圣的，这殿就是你们。【1 Cor3:16-17】Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.

哥林多教会虽然各种恩赐、口才、知识全备，但属灵生命却在结党、嫉妒、纷争里面。Though the Corinthian church lacked no spiritual gift, eloquence, or knowledge, their spiritual lives were marked by division, jealousy, and strife.保罗用强烈的反问，使信徒知道自己的身份：你们是神的殿。Paul used strong rhetorical questions to awaken the believers to their true identity: You are God’s temple. 神的殿是圣洁的。毁坏神的殿，要承受后果。And God’s temple is holy. If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will bring judgment on them. 神的殿不是辉煌的建筑物，是被耶稣的宝血所赎的神子民组成的，这殿就是我们。The temple of God is not a magnificent building—it is the people redeemed by the blood of Jesus. This temple is us.

以色列人离弃神，不肯悔改罪恶，神使圣殿被毁，When Israel turned away from God and refused to repent of their sins, God allowed the temple to be destroyed. 以色列人在咒诅中，被赶逐万国。耶稣去到圣殿，做的第一件事就是洁净圣殿。The people were scattered among the nations under a curse. When Jesus came to the temple, the first thing He did was to cleanse it. 神的殿是圣的，这殿就是我们，我们也当成为圣洁。God’s temple is holy. We are that temple. We are called to be holy. 当我们轻忽神的圣洁，放纵私欲，顺从罪恶，结出的是身体疾病、情绪压制、财务亏损、关系破裂…各种咒诅的苦果。When we take God’s holiness lightly, indulging in sinful desires and giving ourselves over to the flesh, we bear bitter fruit—sickness in our bodies, emotional oppression, financial loss, broken relationships… the effects of curse and sin.

神的话是大而可畏的！今天圣灵住在我们里面，仍然没有停止做洁净的工作。God’s Word is awesome and fearful!

Even today, the Holy Spirit dwells in us and continues the work of cleansing. 神的灵住在我们里头，原文是“永久居住”，圣灵不是暂时访问，而是我们永久的主人。The original text says He “dwells permanently” in us—not as a visitor, but as a permanent Lord and Master. 是的，耶稣，谢谢你流出宝血，为我舍命，洗净我的罪，使我与天父和好。Yes, Jesus—thank You for shedding Your precious blood, for laying down Your life, for washing away my sin, for reconciling me to the Father. 你是我永远的主，我属于你，求你掌管我一生为你而活。You are my Lord forever. I belong to You. Rule my life, that I may live for You.

主啊，求圣灵更深光照我内心深处的隐藏的罪恶，使我仰望你十字架上的救恩，Lord, shine Your Spirit’s light into the deepest parts of my heart. Expose hidden sin, and turn my eyes to the cross. 接受你的饶恕和赦免，也去饶恕跟我一样的人！Help me receive Your forgiveness and grace, and give me the strength to forgive others who are just like me. 主啊，求你洁净你的教会，焚烧一切的不义，使你的教会--属你的子民，带着圣洁的能力，与你同工，为这世代的复兴呼求，愿你的荣耀充满全地。Lord, cleanse Your church! Burn away all unrighteousness. May Your people, Your holy temple, be filled with power and purity—ready to co-labour with You and cry out for revival in our generation. Let Your glory fill the earth.
