De Cultu Feminarum
The Pauline metaphor of the believer's body as God's indwelt temple
For since we are all the temple of God, the Holy Spirit having been brought into us and consecrated, the sacristan and priestess of that temple is modesty, which suffers nothing unclean nor profane to be brought in, lest that God who inhabits should, offended, forsake the defiled seat.
De Pudicitia
The Pauline doctrine that the believer's body is God's temple.
He who in the first too, first of all, dedicated the temple of God:
— and surely the mortal ones, which shall have been admitted against him, and against his temple.
