2 Corinthians 6:16

Agreement (sunkataqesiv). Fifth of these words. Late word, but common, though here only in N.T. Approved by putting together the votes. In the papyri ek sunkataqesewv means "by agreement." On the temple of God and idols see I Corinthians 10:14-22. See Luke 23:51 for the verb sunkatatiqhmi.

For we are the temple of the living God (hmeiv gar naov qeou esmen zwntov). We, not temples (Acts 7:48; Acts 17:24; I Corinthians 3:16; I Corinthians 6:19).

As God said (kaqwv eipen o qeov). A paraphrase and catena of quotations, what J. Rendel Harris calls Testimonia (from Leviticus 26:11 f.; Isaiah 52:11; Ezekiel 20:34; Ezekiel 37:27; II Samuel 7:8, II Samuel 7:14). Plummer notes that at the beginning "I will dwell in them" (enoikhsw en autoiv) is not in any of them. "As God said" points to Leviticus 26:12; Ezekiel 37:27.
