Reading 3, 1 Cor 6:15-20 : Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit
| 1 Corinthians 6 |
|
| 15 | Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! |
| 16 | Do you not know that he who joins himself to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, "The two shall become one flesh." |
| 17 | But he who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. |
| 18 | Shun immorality. Every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the immoral man sins against his own body. |
| 19 | Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; |
| 20 | you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
Gospel, Jn 2:13-17 : The zeal for Father’s house
| John 2 |
|
| 13 | The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. |
| 14 | In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers at their business. |
| 15 | And making a whip of cords, he drove them all, with the sheep and oxen, out of the temple; and he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables. |
| 16 | And he told those who sold the pigeons, "Take these things away; you shall not make my Father's house a house of trade." |
| 17 | His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for thy house will consume me." |
