Your own course is daily bringing upon you disease through your own wrong habits. The apostle entreats his brethren to consecrate their bodies to God. “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Romans 12:1, 2).— Letter 27, 1872. {1MCP 275.2}

Din egen fremgangsmåde pådrager dig sygdomme, på grund af dine egne forkerte levevaner. Apostlen formaner sine brødre at hellige sig deres legemer til Gud. "Så formaner jeg jer da, brødre! ved Guds barmhjertighed, til at bringe jeres legemer som et levende, helligt, Gud velbehageligt offer; dette er jeres åndelige gudsdyrkelse. Skik jer ikke lige med denne verden, men lad jer forvandle gennem en fornyelse af jeres sind, så I må kunne skønne, hvad der er Guds vilje: det gode, velbehagelige og fuldkomne." (Romerne 12,1. 2). - Brev 27, 1872.
