Self Hatred

Do you not know that your body is a temple 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 glorify God with your body.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.

I, yes I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake and remembers your sins no more.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,

I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus.

Indeed, no one ever hated his own body, but he nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

He who ignores discipline despises himself, but whoever heeds correction gains understanding.
