You did write your own and now you try to pass it for the real thing, by substituting “builder” for “every man”.
The textual fact is that the building is allegorizing “every man” and the building is purified by burning the stubble off it.

No, and I’ve quoted the text often enough, in a variety of translations, to prove it to anyone who reads it without bias. I’ve also shown how Paul’s argument fits in to the flow from Chapter 1-4.
The only thing I failed to do was reconcile it to Catholic theology, since Catholic theology with its “imperfect purification” and the need for us to pay the price of our own sins is irreconcilable with the Bible.
