He is in those who are in him...

1 Corinthians 6:
19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Acts 17:24
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

Romans 12:3-5
3For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

4For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

5So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

Colossians 2:8-10
8Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

10And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

1 Timothy 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

John 20:27-29
27Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

28And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.

29Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

Blessed are those who have not seen, yet believe...

believe what?  Jesus is "My LORD and my God".

Peace.

P.S. Its a joy to edify one another in scripture Eutychus

Who is Jude and James speaking of in the following??

2 Peter 2:12
But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

Jude 1:10
But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

What is a Man?  What is a beast??

Why does Jesus say he prays for "his" and not for the world (if the world and all humans in it are in fact his (of God)??

John 17:9
I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

Those who believe in Jesus (he knows the heart), are Men (wether male or female), those who do not follow Jesus (nor have his laws written in thier fleshy hearts), those who do no justice, love not Mercy and reject the Lord Jesus are "AS" Beasts.

What is the body without the spirit?  What is a Man?  A flesh body without the spirit of Christ (Holy Spirit), is dead;

Luke 9:60
Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.

Not of ourselves, it is a gift from God.

Peace in Iesous Christ.
