First Reading for the Feast of The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica

1 Corinthians 3:9c-11, 16-17

Summary: You are God’s holy temple, built on the foundation of Jesus Christ. God’s Spirit lives in you, and you are called to keep his temple sacred.

You Are God’s Sacred Temple

Brothers and sisters: You are God’s building. According to the grace of God given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it. But each one must be careful how he builds upon it, for no one can lay a foundation other than the one that is there, namely, Jesus Christ.

Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for the temple of God, which you are, is holy.
