1 Corinthians 6:13:
Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
Notes on 1 Corinthians 6:13:
If the Lord is FOR the body, surely He is willing to do something for it when it is broken down for some reason. If God were the one putting sickness on you, He would be AGAINST your body, not FOR it.
If “the Lord for the body” does not mean that God will help you with your bodily troubles, what does it mean? What other explanation could there be for His being “for the body?” He is not just interested in the prosperity of your spirit and soul; He is interested in your body, too!
Most people read this verse and understand that the body is for the Lord, not for sinning. However, they miss the last part about the Lord being for the body. If you honor God with your body, you should expect Him to keep your body, which He purchased, in health. Of course, it is unfair to God to expect Him to do things for your body if you refuse to use your body for the Lord! Scripture is clear that sinning leads to bodily trouble.
