If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Ver. 17. Which temple ye are] Man is God's temple; God man's altar. Demosthenes (contra Aristog.) could say, that man's heart was God's best and most stately temple, Iustitia, verecundia, et observantia legum communitum. Justice, respected and heeded, reinforces the law.
