“… Why, then, did [God] build, or cause to be built, a temple? To prefigure Christ’s Body. … The True Temple, the Lord’s Body, also fell but has been Raised Up again, and raised up in such a way it will fall no more .… [O]ur bodies, joined to Christ our Head [] … together form … God’s temple. Together with Christ’s Body our bodies are this temple .… Let yourselves be built up in unity that you may not fall in ruins by remaining separate.”
