         DefinitionShort: a building in which a deity is worshiped (in the case of the Temple in Jerusalem, a place where God was also regarded as dwelling)

         Glosses: ['temple', 'sanctuary']

         Comments: ναός[a] may often be rendered as ‘the house of God’ or ‘the place where God dwells’ or ‘God’s building.’ In some languages it is most naturally referred to as ‘the holy house’ or ‘the holy place.’ See also {D:7.16}.|ναός is used figuratively in {S:04300202100012} (ἐκεῖνος δὲ ἔλεγεν περὶ τοῦ ναοῦ τοῦ σώματος αὐτοῦ ‘but he spoke of the temple of his body’ or ‘… of his body as a temple’) and in {S:04600601900016}, where the believer’s body is spoken of as ναὸς τοῦ ἐν ὑμῖν ἁγίου πνεύματος ‘the temple of the Holy Spirit within you.’

         DefinitionShort: a small replica or model of a temple or shrine{N:001}

         Glosses: ['replica temple', 'model of a shrine']

         Comments: In {S:04401902400014} the term ναός refers only to a small replica of the temple of Artemis. An equivalent of ναός[b] in {S:04401902400014} is in some languages ‘tiny temples of Artemis,’ or, in other instances, it is ‘souvenir temples of Artemis.’
