Bible Question: why does the bible say the body is the temple of god

Bible Answer: There are several verses in 1 and 2 Corinthians that indicate our bodies are holy, and should be treated well.

1Co 3:16 ¶ Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
1Co 3:17 If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.
1Co 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?

There are others that may want to add to my answer, but Corinth was an evil city that did many improper things. Paul mentions some of them in 1 and 2 Corinthians. He reminds us that our bodies are not to use up for pleasure, but as Christians or bodies belong to God and we should worship God with our whole being, including our bodies.
