“Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (1 Cor. 6:2020For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. (1 Corinthians 6:20)).
Paul describes us as slaves of Christ. Not only does our property belong to Him; we ourselves belong to Him. We are His, without qualification and without reserve. Our bodies belong to Him, with the muscles which we use in physical labor; and our minds belong to Him, with the knowledge, the keenness of judgment, with which to conduct our business or discharge the duties of our profession. We are not our own; we are the slaves of Christ.
