The Bible does not specifically mention selling drugs, as such substances were not known in biblical times. However, it does contain principles about the use of substances and the importance of caring for others. Here are a few verses that can be applied to the topic:
-
1 Corinthians 6:19-20: "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body."
-
Proverbs 20:1: "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." This verse warns of the dangers of intoxication and its consequences.
-
Romans 14:21: "It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother to stumble." This highlights the importance of considering the impact of your actions on others.
-
Ephesians 5:18: "And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit." This verse teaches against excessive drinking and encourages spiritual fulfillment instead.
While the Bible may not explicitly prohibit the selling of drugs or alcohol, these verses emphasize the responsible use of substances, the importance of caring for others, and the idea that one's body is a temple. These principles can guide behaviors that respect the well-being of oneself and others.
