“For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
1 Corinthians 6:20 · KJV
What question does Paul ask before calling the body a temple?
Paul says he will not be brought under the power of anything. He also says the Lord is for the body and speaks of resurrection. His argument gives the body a future with God and a purpose now. Bodily choices belong within discipleship because the Spirit lives in people who belong to Christ.
What does holiness look like beyond an abstract rule?
The immediate passage concerns sexual conduct and union with Christ. Romans 6 adds the image of offering our members to God as instruments of righteousness. Romans 12 speaks of presenting our bodies to God in worship. Read together, these texts give ordinary choices spiritual weight, including what we do with our hands, our words, and our relationships.
Put one decision into practice
Choose a specific boundary or act of care that honors God with your body this week. Seek wise support if you need it. Pray through Romans 12:1 before you act.
