1 Corinthians 3:16-23

Why does Paul all of a sudden start talking about people as God's temple? He's talking about foundations we're laying and being God's workers. Why does he talk about being God's temple and not destroying that temple? It seems to fit well in contrasting with the building that is happening. We are to build carefully and be aware of the foundation. With respect to the building that we do to others and ourselves, it is possible to destroy these things. That wouldn't be good and which is why Paul goes on to talk about people being God's temple and not to destroy God's temple.

The next thing that is discussed is wisdom. This is similar to what is mentioned in the first to chapters. God's wisdom is clearly better than man's wisdom. Do not boast about human leader. He ends with an interesting connection, talking about all things being yours. This is connected to the fact that you are Christ's and Christ is God's. There is this ownership and hierarchy that is mentioned, which is quite interesting. I guess it's important to know who owns you.
