The scriptures tell us clearly that Paul had a thorn IN his flesh a messenger of Satan, (a demon) that buffeted or afflicted him, causing him pain, which is why he pleaded with the Lord three times to take it away from him.
2nd Corinthians 12:7-9
"And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations,
a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
Yes the body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, but the body still needs to be sanctified or made holy, AFTER the Spirit of God comes to indwell us, and the soul needs to be washed, this is called the process of sanctification.
