KJV Word TypeNoun
DefinitionThe permanent structure built in Jerusalem as the dwelling place of God's presence among His people — first Solomon's Temple, then the rebuilt Second Temple. In the NT the physical temple yields to Christ Himself as the true temple, and believers individually and corporately are called the temple of the Holy Spirit.
Key Verses"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" (1 Corinthians 3:16); "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." (John 2:19)
