Ephesians2:22
22 In whom you also are builded together, for an habitation of God through the Spirit .
A Temple where God may dwell. Not onely the whole Collection of Believers is called the Temple of God, but particular Churches, and particular Saints are so called, because of God's dwelling in them by his Spirit: see 1 Cor. 3.16, 17. and 6.19.
This may relate either to the words immediately going before, an habitation of God, and then the meaning is, an Habitation or Temple in which God dwells by his Spirit: or to the Verb Builded, and then they import the building of them into a Temple to be the Operation of the Spirit, working that Faith and Love in them whereby they are united to Christ the Foundation, and to the several parts of the Building.
