“Your body is a wonderful gift, a thing to be cherish and cared for. For those who are in me, I make my home in them. Therefore, refrain from making any unnecessary cuts or adding any markings to this temple where my Holy Spirit lives. Rather, celebrate the architecture of my home by showing respect for your body.

“You are made in my Father’s image. Rejoice that my Father counts you as worthy to reflect His glory. True beauty comes from within, not in outward adornments, such as hairstyles, the wearing of jewelry or clothes. Your body will pass away but your soul will live forever. For this reason, show respect for your body.Show respect for me.” — Jesus

(Leviticus 19:28, 1 Corinthians 6:19, 1 Peter 3:3)
