εἴ τις τὸν ναὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ φθείρει, φθερεῖ τοῦτον ὁ Θεός; ὁ γὰρ ναὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἅγιός ἐστιν, οἵτινές ἐστε ὑμεῖς.
if anyone the temple ¬the ˱of˲_God /is/_destroying /will_be/_destroying this_‹one› ¬the God the for temple ¬the ˱of˲_God holy is which are you_all
Here Paul finishes the metaphor about the temple that he began in 3:16. He notes that, because God’s temple is holy, God will destroy anyone who destroys the temple. He then again repeats that the Corinthians are the temple. By speaking in this way, Paul wishes to remind everyone among the Corinthian believers that “destroying” the unity of the believers is like “destroying” the temple, and God will act in response to this like he would if someone “destroyed” his temple. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this metaphor with a comparable metaphor or express the idea plainly. Alternate translation: “If anyone desecrates God’s sacred shrine, God will punish that person. For the sacred shrine is holy, and you are God’s sacred shrine” or “If anyone divides the place of God’s presence, God will punish that person. For wherever God’s presence can be found is holy, and you are the place where God’s presence can be found”

εἴ τις τὸν ναὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ φθείρει, φθερεῖ τοῦτον ὁ Θεός
if anyone the temple ¬the ˱of˲_God /is/_destroying /will_be/_destroying this_‹one› ¬the God
Here Paul uses If to introduce a true possibility. He means that a person might destroy God’s temple, or that person might not. He then specifies the consequence if someone does destroy God’s temple. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this form by stating the If statement by using a relative clause. Alternate translation: “God will destroy anyone who destroys the temple of God”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
οἵτινές ἐστε ὑμεῖς
which are you_all
Here, which could refer to: (1) the temple of God. Alternate translation: “which temple you are” (2) holy. Alternate translation: “and you too are holy”
