1 Corinthians 3:16

3:16 Do you not know that you are God’s temple ¹  and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

1 Corinthians 5:6

5:6 Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast ²  affects ³  the whole batch of dough?

1 Corinthians 12:2

12:2 You know that when you were pagans you were often led astray by speechless idols, however you were led.

¹ sn You are God’s temple refers here to the church, since the pronoun you is plural in the Greek text. (In 6:19 the same imagery is used in a different context to refer to the individual believer.)

² sn In this passage (5:6-8) yeast represents the presence of evil within the church, specifically the immoral person described in 5:1-5 and mentioned again in 5:13.

³ tn Grk “a little yeast leavens.”
