提摩太前書 4:8
For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
「操練身體，益處還少；惟獨敬虔，凡事都有益處，因有今生和來生的應許。」
哥林多前書 6:19
- 20
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;
you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
豈不知你們的身子就是聖靈的殿嗎？這聖靈是從神而來，住在你們裡頭的；並且你們不是自己的人；
因為你們是重價買來的。所以，要在你們的身子上榮耀神。
腓立比書 4:13
I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
我靠著那加給我力量的，凡事都能做。
以賽亞書 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
你不要害怕，因為我與你同在；不要驚惶，因為我是你的神。我必堅固你，我必幫助你；我必用我公義的右手扶持你。
哥林多前書 9:25
Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
凡較力爭勝的，諸事都有節制，他們不過是要得能壞的冠冕；我們卻是要得不能壞的冠冕。
以弗所書 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
因我們並不是與屬血氣的爭戰（原文作摔跤；下同），乃是與那些執政的、掌權的、管轄這幽暗世界的，以及天空屬靈氣的惡魔爭戰。
