I first was thinking, I agree, with the statement 'if not each one is a temple of God then together cannot be the temple of God'.....then I remembered He is allowing the tares to grow up alongside the wheat, all the way until He is ready to harvest. At the harvest, the tares will be burned, the wheat gathered into His barn. I think His temple is His temple in spite of the presence of the tares. And of course, also, we believers individually are a temple of His abode.
I would love to figure out how to translate the original word with all the intricacies of meaning for my personal understanding. Do you have a particular commentary that you trust?

Bible Hub also has GRK selection (here it is for the verse discussed). https://biblehub.com/text/1_corinthians/3-16.htm to help those of us with poor Greek and English knowledge
