1 Tim 4:7-8 (NKJV)7 But reject profane and old wives'
fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness. 8 For bodily
exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and
of that which is to come.

1 Corinthians 6:18-20 (NKJV). . . your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were

Romans 6:12-13 (NKJV)12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should
obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as
instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your
members as instruments of righteousness to God.

who set their mind on earthly things.

Matthew 5:28-29 (NKJV) 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your
right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish,
than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we
walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses

1 I beseech you therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of
God, that you present your
bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable to God, which is
your reasonable service.
2 And do not be conformed to
this world, but be
transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that
you may prove what is that
good and acceptable and
perfect will of God.
