New International Version
15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.(A)
16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple(B) and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?(C) 17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.
1 Corinthians 3:15-17

15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
