First Corinthians 3:16 says, “Do you not know that you are a temple of God?” And as proof, it adds, “the Spirit of God dwells in you.” In chapter 6 the argument is carried further. Verse 19 says “Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you.” And verse 20 adds the exhortation, “therefore glorify God in your body.” That equates the Holy Spirit with God. Along with dozens of other verses (indeed, the entire teaching of the New Testament) that text underscores this truth: the Holy Spirit is God.
