Romans 14:23 reminds us that anything that does not come from faith is sin. We need to remember that our bodies, as well as our souls, have been redeemed and belong to God. Although 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 does not directly apply to tattoos or body piercings, it does give us a principle: “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.
Ei maksa unustada, et nii meie ihu nagu ka hing on lunastatud ja kuuluvad Jumalale. Ehkki 1Ko 6:19-20 ei käsitle otseselt tätoveeringuid ega enese rõngastamist või neetimist, on seal põhimõte: “Või kas te ei tea, et teie ihu on teis oleva Püha Vaimu tempel, kelle te olete saanud Jumalalt, ning et teie ei ole iseenese päralt? Sest te olete kallilt ostetud.
