Sins of Persons do dirty to the outer part of the church but Inner Part of Church is always pure. Sins of Persons persecuted the outer part of the Body of the Blessed Holy Lord Jesus Christ but Inner Part of the persecuted body was always pure.

[Refined Expression] :-
The sins of individuals may defile the outer part of the Church, but the inner sanctuary remains ever pure. In the same way, the sins of men persecuted the outer body of our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ, but His inner being—His divine nature—remained eternally holy and undefiled.
[Explanation]:-
1. Outer vs Inner Church:
The outer part of the Church can represent its visible, institutional form—its buildings, leadership, and even the actions of its members.
The inner part is the spiritual core: the body of true believers, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the presence of Christ. This part remains pure because Christ is its foundation (Ephesians 5:27).
2. Jesus’ Persecuted Body:
The outer body of Jesus refers to His human flesh, which was scourged, crucified, and subjected to human hatred and sin.
But His inner being—His divine nature, His holiness, His obedience to the Father—was never corrupted. Even under torture, He remained sinless (1 Peter 2:22–24).
Biblical Parallels:
Hebrews 7:26 — “For such a high priest truly befits us—holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners...”
Matthew 23:27 — Jesus rebukes hypocrisy in outward religious forms while emphasizing inward purity.
Ephesians 5:25–27 — Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for her to make her holy and cleanse her.
