Living and character
What does the Bible say about smoking?
The Bible never mentions smoking, but it does call your body a temple of the Holy Spirit and warns against anything that masters you.
What Scripture says
“Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
““All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are expedient. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be brought under the power of anything.”
“Whether therefore you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”
“Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.”
