You is Plural in 1 Corinthians 3:16

* * *

Leon Morris, 1 Corinthians, revised edition (Tyndale New Testament Commentary Series) 1985, Wm. B. Eerdmans, Grand Rapids, Michigan, page 67, specifically states this.

Commentaries saying it refers to the church are simply too numerous and consistent to bother citing. In fact, I cannot even imagine any scholar familiar with Greek denying it.

“Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God . . .” is how the New Living Translation puts it.

Other versions trying to indicate that you is plural include:
