1. Ephesians 2:21

   In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord.

   ›Commentary on Ephesians 2:212 voices

   “So "in the Lord" (Christ) answers to "through the Spirit" (Eph 2:22; compare Eph 3:16, 17). "Christ is the inclusive Head of all the building, the element in which it has its being and now its growth" [ALFORD].

   “It is maintained by some that the whole edifice built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets comprises not only human souls but also angelic powers, so that all equally will become the abode of God. They argue that it would be absurd if angels and all the blessed forces who serve God in heaven would have no part in this blessedness. For in this is a building, put together harmoniously, that is growing into a holy temple of God to be an abode of God in the Spirit.

3. Hebrews 3:3

   For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.

   ›Commentary on Hebrews 3:32 voices

   “For--assigning the reason why they should "consider" attentively "Christ" (Heb 3:1), highly as they regard Moses who resembled Him in faithfulness (Heb 3:2). was--Greek, "has been." counted worthy of more glory--by God, when He exalted Him to His own right hand.

   "For this one has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses." Saying the equality of Christ with Moses, he now gently speaks of the superiority, "this one has been counted worthy of more." Who? The Christ understood according to the flesh, is deemed to …

4. Hebrews 3:4

   And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.

   ›Commentary on Hebrews 3:42 voices
