Our bodies are Christ’s purchased possession, and we are not at liberty to do with them as we please. All who understand the laws of health should realize their obligation to obey these laws which God has established in their being. Obedience to the laws of health is to be made a matter of personal duty. We ourselves must suffer the results of violated law. We must individually answer to God for our habits and practices. Therefore the question with us is not, “What is the world’s practice?” but, “How shall I as an individual treat the habitation that God has given me?” {FLB 228.6}

Vore kroppe er Kristi indkøbte ejendom, og vi har ikke ret til at gøre med dem, som vi behager. Alle som forstår helsens love bør indse deres forpligtelse til at adlyde disse love som Gud har fastsat til deres eksistens. Lydighed mod sundhedslovene skal være en personlig opgave. Vi må selv lide, tage følgerne af at overtræde loven. Vi må hver især stå til ansvar for Gud for vore vaner og skikke. Derfor er vores spørgsmål ikke: ”hvad er verdens skik?” men: ”hvordan skal jeg som enkeltperson behandle den bolig Gud har givet mig?”
