This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Agreement (sunkatathesis). Fifth of these words. Late word, but common, though here only in N.T. Approved by putting together the votes. In the papyri ek sunkatatheseōs means “by agreement.” On the temple of God and idols see 1Co 10:14-22. See note on Luk 23:51 for the verb sunkatatithēmi.
For we are the temple of the living God (hēmeis gar naos theou esmen zōntos). We, not temples (Act 7:48; Act 17:24; 1Co 3:16; 1Co 6:19).
As God said (kathōs eipen ho theos). A paraphrase and catena of quotations, what J. Rendel Harris calls Testimonia (from Lev 26:11.; Isa 52:11; Eze 20:34; Eze 37:27; 2Sa 7:8, 2Sa 7:14). Plummer notes that at the beginning “I will dwell in them” (enoikēsō en autois) is not in any of them. “As God said” points to Lev 26:12; Eze 37:27.
