holiness, holding that our bodies are
the temple of the Holy Ghost AS
truly as God dwelt in the Mosaic
temple, and in Solomon's temple, just
so truly the Holy Spirit dwells in the
souls of real Christians. AS the tenn
pie of old and the utensils were set
apart for the service Of God, so our
bodies should be kept holy for His
service, for we are not our own, but
purchased by the precious blood of
Jesus Christ
