The fire will test the quality of each one’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss, but they will still be saved, though only as one escaping through flames. 16 Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.
