Another Scriptural reason for showing respect for the faithful slave is that anointed Christians on earth are figuratively spoken of as a “temple ” that Jehovah inhabits“ by spirit. ”
وَٱلسَّبَبُ ٱلْآخَرُ ٱلْمُؤَسَّسُ عَلَى ٱلْأَسْفَارِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةِ لِإِظْهَارِ ٱلِٱحْتِرَامِ لِصَفِّ ٱلْعَبْدِ هُوَ أَنَّ ٱلْمَسِيحِيِّينَ ٱلْمَمْسُوحِينَ ٱلْعَائِشِينَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ يُشَبَّهُونَ ‹ بِهَيْكَلٍ › يَسْكُنُهُ يَهْوَه « بِٱلرُّوحِ » .‏
