1 Corinthians 3:16
KJV 'ye' referring to plural 'you'.
biblehub.com is useful for me. I don't know any Greek or Hebrew and I read the various translations and commentaries.
Some translations indicate 'you' in 1Corinthians 3:16 as singular, '
a' temple of God.
There are other bible verses that indicate individauls each is a temple of God.
My understanding of 1 Corinthians 3:16 is referring to '
the' temple of God.
I read somewhere (sorry, can't find it again), that, if 'not each one is a temple of God then together cannot be the temple of God'.
Each member of the body of Chrsit has Christ dwelling in him/her; the members together is '
the' body, 'the body of Christ'.
