Fragment: The Body

From: The Christian Shepherd: 2003 By: John Nelson Darby

1 Corinthians 6:15

Listen to This Article

“Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ?” (1 Cor. 6:15¹⁵Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. (1 Corinthians 6:15)).

The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. He acts on the soul and on the heart Christ dwells in our hearts by faith but the body is His temple, and therefore it is to be used accordingly. A great deal of mischief springs from not recognizing this. The body is only in its right place when it is a vessel which I am just using for God.

J. N. Darby
