Since both a Christian church and individual Christians are likened to a building or temple in which God or the Holy Spirit dwells (1 Co. iii. 9, 16 544. ; 2 Οο. vi. 16; Eph. ii. 21), the erection of which temple will not be completely finished till the return of Christ from heaven, those who, by action, instruction, exhortation, comfort, promote the Christian wisdom of others and help them to live a correspondent life are regarded as taking part in the erection of that building, and hence are said οἰκοδομεῖν, i. 6.

This metaphorical use of the verb Paul, in the opinion of Fritzsche (Ep. ad Rom. iii. p. 205 sq.), did not derive from the fig. of building a temple, but from the O. T., where “7733 and 077 with an ace. of the pers. (10 build one up and to pull one down) ae to bless and to ruin, to prosper and to injure, any one”; cf. Ps. xxvii. (xxviii.) 5; Jer. xxiv. 6; xl.
