Jehemiah 47:1-2.8-9.12
I saw water flowing from within the Temple;
wherever the water flows, everything there is alive.
Reading from Ezekiel's Prophecy:
One event
I was brought by the angel of the Lord to the door of the Temple,
and behold, there was water coming out from under the threshold of the temple,
flows towards the east;
because the Temple also faces east.
The water flows from under the right side of the Temple,
south of the altar.
Then the angel led me outside
through the north gate,
and he took me around from outside
towards the outer gate facing east.
Indeed, the water was coming from the south.
Then the angel said to me,
"This river flows towards the eastern region,
down to the Arabah-Jordan,
and empties into the Salt Sea;
then the water containing a lot of salt becomes tasteless.
Wherever the river flows,
all creatures crowded in it will live.
The fish will be very numerous,
because wherever the water reaches,
the sea water there becomes fresh,
and wherever the river flows,
everything there is alive.
On both banks of the river
growing various fruit trees,
whose leaves never wither,
and its fruit is endless.
Every month there is new fruit,
for the trees received water from the holy place.
The fruit is food and the leaves are medicine."
Thus says God.

1 Corinthians 3:9b-11.16-17
You are the dwelling place of God.
Reading from the First Letter of the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians:
Brothers,
you are God's field and His building.
According to God's grace
which was bestowed upon me,
I am a skilled builder
has laid the foundation,
and other people build on it.
But everyone must pay attention,
how he should build on that foundation.
For no one can lay another foundation
than the foundation that has been laid, namely Jesus Christ.
Don't you know,
that you are the temple of God,
and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
If anyone destroys God's temple,
then Allah will destroy him.
Because God's temple is holy
and the temple of God is you.
Thus says God.
