1.1 KiB
Do you not know ... God? ... that you are not your own?
Paul is continuing to teach the Corinthians by emphasizing what they already know. AT: "I want to remind you ... God and that you are not your own." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
your body
the body of each individual Christian is a temple of the Holy Spirit
temple of the Holy Spirit
A temple is dedicated to divine beings, and it is also where they dwell. In the same way, each Corinthian believer's body is like a temple because the Holy Spirit is present within them. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
For you were bought with a price
God paid for the freedom of the Corinthians from the slavery of sin. This can be stated as active. AT: "God paid for your freedom" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
Therefore
"Because what I have just said is true"
