UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι ναὸς Θεοῦ ἐστε, καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα τοῦ Θεοῦ οἰκεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν?

not ˱you_all˲_/have/_known that temple ˱of˲_God ˱you_all˲_are and the Spirit ¬the ˱of˲_God /is/_dwelling in you_all

Paul does not ask this question because he is looking for information or for agreement or disagreement. Rather, he asks it to involve the Corinthians in what he is arguing by reminding them of something that they should already know. The question assumes that the answer is “yes.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this question with an emphatic statement. Alternate translation: “you know that you are a temple of God, and you know that the Spirit of God lives in you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

οὐκ οἴδατε ὅτι ναὸς Θεοῦ ἐστε, καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα τοῦ Θεοῦ οἰκεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν?

not ˱you_all˲_/have/_known that temple ˱of˲_God ˱you_all˲_are and the Spirit ¬the ˱of˲_God /is/_dwelling in you_all

Here Paul develops the metaphor about constructing a building in new ways. First, he says that the Corinthians together are a temple of God, which is a specific type of building. The temple of God was the place where God was present in a special way. Paul is thus identifying the Corinthians as people among whom God is present in the same kind of special way. Second, he says that the Corinthians together are the house or city in which the Spirit of God lives. The house or city in which someone lives is where they are always present. Paul is thus saying that the Holy Spirit is always present with the Corinthians. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning of Paul’s metaphors with a comparable metaphor or express the idea in nonfigurative language. Alternate translation: “Do you not know that you are the sacred shrine where God dwells, and you are the country in which the Spirit of God has residency?” or “Do you not know that God is present among you, and the Spirit of God is always with you?”
