God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.

When you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit takes residence in your body (temple - see references below).

Protestant or Catholic, it would be wise to ask the Holy Spirit to help guide you as you read the Bible. . .God’s Holy Word.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17
Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.

1 Corinthians 6:19 ESV
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,

Romans 12:2 ESV
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

1 Corinthians 6:20 ESV
For you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

Romans 12:1 ESV
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

". . . your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you . . ."

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV

". . . you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you . . ."

Your interpretation of this translation is in error. The subject of these phrases is not an individual.

These uses of "You" is plural, not singular, in the Greek text and in the Authorized Version; but "body" and "temple" are singular. Thus the grammar, as used by the Holy Ghost, demands that the subject is the aggregation of souls comprising the local church; here specifically that assembly meeting at Corinth, and by extension to any truly ordained local church anywhere, a Body whose Head is The Lord Jesus Christ.

These passages cannot be translated and interpreted otherwise, though they often are, very mistakenly by those who do not discern that each is only a member of The Body of The Lord, The Holy Ghost suffusing throughout the regenerated constituents congregated to remember Him and for public instruction.

It is the local Assembled Company that is the Temple of the Holy Spirit, and counting themselves blessed by His Presence.

"But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body" (1 Cor. 11:28-29 AV)

With respect for the gravity of The Inscripturated Will of God.
