Verse 17
defile . Greek. phth eiro. Same word as "destroy" below. Occurs also in 1 Corinthians 15:33 . 2Co 7:2 ; 2 Corinthians 11:3 .Ephesians 4:22 .Jude 1:10 . Revelation 19:2 (corrupt). The word "mar" will suit both clauses. The man who mars God's Temple by introducing divisions, and the wisdom that is not from above (James 3:15 ), will himself be marred (1 Corinthians 3:15 ).
him = this one. Greek. houtos. Emphatic.
holy . Greek. hagios .
which = and such, i.e. holy, or separated. Omit " temple " in the last clause.
