1 Corinthians 6:19-20

1 Corinthians 6:19-20
 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Sonnet 751 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

So you, who could not fix a broken straw
Or unify all physics, large and small
Or make a spider's web or keep the law
Or beat the common cold or city hall.

So you, a helpless babe to start your days
Impatient, unconcerned and uninformed
Are blessed beyond your merit in the ways
The functions of your body are performed.

This body made with such exquisite skill
This miracle of purpose and of art
This engine of your wants and needs and will
This agent of the mind and of the heart.

You didn't build or even have intent
The Maker made this temple, you just rent.
