This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
An habitation of God; a temple where God may dwell. Not only the whole collection of believers is called the temple of God, but particular churches and particular saints are so called, because of God’s dwelling in them by his Spirit: see 1Co_3:16,17 6:19.
Through the Spirit: this may relate either to the words immediately going before,
an habitation of God, and then the meaning is, an habitation or temple in which God dwells by his Spirit; or to the verb
builded, and then they import the building of them into a temple to be the operation of the Spirit, working that faith and love in them whereby they are united to Christ the foundation, and to the several parts of the building.
