It anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you people are. -1 Cor. 3: 17, NW.

God's organization is more important to him than the salvation of an immoral or disobedient creature. The vindication of Jehovah's sovereignty and the keeping; of his name above reproach is of higher importance than the preserving of willful sinners. Hence these paramount things must come first. Accordingly, God shows due respect for the organization which bears his name. He executes his judgments against the defilers and keeps it clean. Since God so respects his organization, then we must exercise fear and must respect it too. It is our solemn obligation to watch our conduct and avoid bringing reproach upon it or corrupting it. For one thing, therefore, keep marriage honorable and the marriage bed undefiled. We may not defile or bring reproach upon the organization by impure conduct and stay in it, for this would act like a yeast to ferment the organization. W 4/15
