Verses for Loving Your Body

My body was bought at a price. I'll treat it with respect.

A Bible affirmation for loving your body, rooted in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 · BSB

Reflection

Paul says you were bought at a price, and the price was Jesus Himself. Something that costly isn't meant to be hated or neglected. Honoring your body can start with speaking about it kindly.

A prayer

Jesus, You paid for all of me. Teach me to honor my body instead of fighting it.
