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.
Tunapaswa kufahamu kuwa miili yetu na nafsi zetu pia zimekombolewa na ni mali ya Mungu. Ijapokuwa haelekei moja kwa moja juu ya chale na alama za miili, wakorintho wa kwanza 6:19 -20 inatupatia kanuni moja, “Nini? Hamjui ya kuwa miili yenu ni hekalu la Roho Mtakatifu, akaaye ndani yenu, ambaye mnaye kutoka kwa Mungu na ninyi si mali yenu wenyewe.
