1 Corinthians 3:17 (Amplified Bible)

If anyone does hurt to God’s temple or corrupts it [with false doctrines] or destroys it, God will do hurt to him and bring him to the corruption of death and destroy him. For the temple of God is holy (sacred to Him) and that [temple] you [the believing church and its individual believers] are.

1 Corinthians 3:17 (King James Version)

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

A. If anyone corrupts the Temple of GOD

"If anyone does hurt to God’s temple or corrupts it [with false doctrines] or destroys it,"

Defile or "phtheiro" in Greek meaning:

a. to shrivel or wither

b. to spoil or ruin

c. to deprave, corrupt, defile and destroy

Aside from the obvious vices that can destroy the body (temple) of GOD such as drinking, smoking and gambling, here are the list of other things that can destroy the temple of GOD.

1 Corinthians 6:18-20 (Amplified Bible)

Shun immorality and all sexual looseness [flee from impurity in thought, word, or deed]. Any other sin which a man commits is one outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own,

You were bought with a price [purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made His own]. So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body.

Psalms 79:1 (Amplified Bible)

A Psalm of Asaph. O GOD, the nations have come into [the land of Your people] Your inheritance; Your sacred temple have they defiled; they have made Jerusalem heaps of ruins.

That's why a CHRISTian believer is called "born against" because as though it seems he/she is against everyone. Yes, because this world can corrupt. That's why the bible advises us to do these things: (1) come our from among unbelievers, (2) separate yourselves from them, and (3) touch or don't ever think of things they think. I believe to certain extent a genuine CHRISTian believer is a separatist, he separates himself from the pollution and corruption of this world.

2 Corinthians 6:17 (Amplified Bible)

So, come out from among [unbelievers], and separate (sever) yourselves from them, says the Lord, and touch not [any] unclean thing; then I will receive you kindly and treat you with favor,

Proverbs 13:5 (Amplified Bible)

A [consistently] righteous man hates lying and deceit, but a wicked man is loathsome [his very breath spreads pollution] and he comes [surely] to shame.

Galatians 6:8 (Amplified Bible)

For he who sows to his own flesh (lower nature, sensuality) will from the flesh reap decay and ruin and destruction, but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

2 Peter 2:19 (Amplified Bible)

They promise them liberty, when they themselves are the slaves of depravity and defilement—for by whatever anyone is made inferior or worse or is overcome, to that [person or thing] he is enslaved.

ILLUSTRATION: Remember those who have vices such as smoking, drinking and gambling, of all of these and others as well destroys the Temple of GOD, which is our body and the local church as well. If you have been delivered from all these vices, stay away from all of them, so you won't return and be destroyed by GOD in hell.

ILLUSTRATION: If you are in a car and you lowered down the window and you know that you will be passing a community that is known for it's pollution, will you not close your windows again because you know you will be smelling those trash that might get you sick. That's the situation of this world, you need to be watchful and not corrupt your faith. Hence, worldly CHRISTians don't want to break bond with the world, and stays a friend of the world.

Yes, it will hurt, people will call you names, insult you, but hey, it's not all over, we have the final say because when the LORD JESUS CHRIST returns, we will get a reward, a victor's crown.

Romans 15:3 (Amplified Bible)

For Christ did not please Himself [gave no thought to His own interests]; but, as it is written, The reproaches and abuses of those who reproached and abused you fell on Me.

Psalms 69:9 (Amplified Bible)

For zeal for Your house has eaten me up, and the reproaches and insults of those who reproach and insult You have fallen upon me.

2 Timothy 2:5 (Amplified Bible)

And if anyone enters competitive games, he is not crowned unless he competes lawfully (fairly, according to the rules laid down).

B. GOD will destroy the destroyer of the temple

"God will do hurt to him and bring him to the corruption of death and destroy him. For the temple of God is holy (sacred to Him) and that [temple] you [the believing church and its individual believers] are. "

Destruction of GOD upon a body is through hell.

Matthew 10:28 (Amplified Bible)

And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather be afraid of Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell (Gehenna).

IX. CONCLUSION:

Praise, worship, glorify, adore, bless, honor, acknowledge and thank You very much LORD JESUS for I am the temple of GOD and you've given me parameters that I have to follow, that is to come out from among these unbelievers, separate myself from them, and will not tackle things that they are busy with.
