SUPPORTING SCRIPTURES,QUOTES, ILLUSTRATIONS, EXCERPTS:
"The unique contribution of the body to the whole person is that it is the mediator of moral action rather than the initiator. In a sense, it is the equipment for the heart. It does what the heart tells it to do; it is the heart's vehicle for concrete ministry and service in the material world. In this capacity, it is not the source of sin and is never called sinful. Instead, the body can be strong and healthy, physically weak (Greek:asthenia), ill fragile ("jars of clay"), decaying, and limited or physically dependent in that it has natural desires that want to be satisfied." From Blame It On The Brain by Edward T. Welch
1Corinthians. 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. "This is not asceticism or physical self-denial; rather, it is Paul's response to Satan's tendency to prey on the natural weaknesses and desires of the body." From Blame It On The Brain by Edward T. Welch
1Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
