What does it mean that the body is the temple of the Holy Ghost?

[siddhi koli]

1 Corinthians 3:16
King James Version
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?​

​

1 Corinthians 6:15-20​

King James Version

15 Know 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.
16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.​

Romans 8:9
King James Version
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
​

2 Corinthians 6:16
King James Version

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.​

Hi,
Don't look to far into it but ...those with the holy spirit in them have a temple which is the body...so it's pretty straight forward..
