""You are God's building" is followed by a dozen "every man"."

Except, by all the rules of English, "every man" does not apply to the "you", but the "we" - the builders:

"According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it..." "each...how he builds"

"Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each man's work will become evident...the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work."

Sorry, but you really need to work on your English & reading. There are no crayons big enough to draw a picture that cannot be twisted if the viewer refuses to view...or a reader refuses to read.

I have no doubt how Kennedy came to decide the Constitution required homosexual marriage. When you want the answer bad enough, the text no longer matters!

I think, by the rules of any language, "every man" applies to every man.

Do you think this scripture does not apply to "you" either, since it was written to an angel ?

Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;,To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
