The Bible provides profound insights on the topic of gluttony, urging believers to embrace moderation and self-control.


Proverbs 23:20-21 (KJV) warns, "Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags." This verse highlights the dire consequences of overindulgence and the inevitable downfall it brings.


Philippians 3:19 (KJV) further emphasizes, "Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things." Here, the scripture portrays gluttony as a form of idolatry, where earthly desires take precedence over spiritual well-being.


Proverbs 28:7 (KJV) states, "Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father." This verse underscores the importance of wise choices and the impact of our associations.


1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (KJV) reminds us, "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." This pivotal verse calls for the reverence of our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit, advocating for a life of temperance.


Lastly, 1 Corinthians 10:31 (KJV) instructs, "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." In essence, every action, including eating and drinking, should honor God.


These verses collectively emphasize the perils of gluttony and the virtue of living a disciplined, God-honoring life.
