I recently spent some time updating a list I have of scriptures related to health and wellness. It now includes over 66 verses that follow.
PDF Version – This is a version of these Bible verses about wellness in a printable pdf format.
Our Responsibility to Care for Our Body:
Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, 20 for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NLT)
And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice – the kind he will find acceptable. Romans 12:1-2 (NLT)
Biblical Truths/Promises Related to Wellness:
Spend your time and energy in training yourself for spiritual fitness. Physical exercise has some value, but spiritual exercise is much more important for it promises a reward in both this life and the next. This is true and everyone should accept it.” 1 Timothy 4:7-9 (NLT)
A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones. Proverbs 14:30 (NLT)
Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil. Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones. Proverbs 3: 7-8 (NLT)
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:28-29 (NLT)
You satisfy me more than the richest of foods. Psalms 63:5 (NLT)
He gives power to those who are tired and worn out; he offers yeah strength to the weak. Even youths will become exhausted, and young men will fall give up. But those who wait on the Lord will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:29-31 (NLT)
The eyes of all look to you in hope; you give them their food as they need it. When you open your hand, you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing. Psalms 145:15-16 (NLT)
Don’t be impressed with your all wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn your back on evil. Then you’ll gain renewed health and vitality. Proverbs 3:7-8 (NLT)
Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink-even if you have no money! Take your choice of wine or milk-it’s all free! Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good? Listen and I will tell you where to get food that is good for the soul! Isaiah 55: 1-2 (NLT)
The Lord will guide you continually, watering your life when you are dry and keeping you healthy, too. You will be like a well watered garden like an ever-flowing spring.Isaiah 58:11 (NLT)
You must serve only the Lord your God. If you do, I will bless you with food and water, and I will protect you from illness. Exodus 23:25 (NLT)
A cheerful heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit makes one sick. Proverbs 17:22 (TLB)
I will never forget your commandments, for you have used them to restore my joy and health. Psalms 119: 93 (NLT)
The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song. (Psalm 28:7(NIV)
Consequences of Sin:
Because of your anger my whole body is sick; my health is broken because of my sins. My guilt overwhelms me – it is a burden too heavy to bear. My wounds fester in stink because of my foolish sins. I am bent over and racked with pain. My days are filled with grief. A raging fever burns within me, and my health is broken. I am exhausted and completely crushed. My groans come from an anguished heart. Psalms 38: 3-8 (NLT)
Stress and Your Health:
As pressure and stress bear down on me, I find joy in your commands. Psalms 119:143 (NLT)
Anxiety in the heart of a man weighs it down, But a good word makes it glad. Proverbs 12:25 (NAS)
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 (NAS)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 (NAS)
Other Scriptures Related to Health and Wellness:
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31 (NIV)
Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. 3 John 1:2 (NIV)

I ENJOY THESE BIBLE VERSES THEY SPEAK TO ONES SELF.
I AM NOW 77 YEARS 6 MONTHS AND RETIRED 10 YEARS. I HAVE HAD VARIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS SINCE 1959 BUT IT NEVER REALLY IMPACTED ON MY LIFE. I WAS ABLE TO WORK A FULL 50 YEARS 4 MONTHS, WITH HOSPITAL INTERVENTIONS OCCASIONALLY. I HAVE RECENTLY REALISED (and I dont think there is any other other explanation) I am doing work for the Lord and He looks after me and keeps me going with medications and His Grace. ~ Noel Carey
Please pray for me as I await possibility of cancer diagnosis, but I hope and pray for positive results. Fearful now.
I am always looking for an answer. These verse are great to see in one place. I have the question if everyone brought to Jesus was healed why don’t we see more healings especially in the developed countries?
I like this site so much ,may God bless you all
God bless you all?
God often lets me know I need to take care of myself and exercise. Not only is it God letting me know, it’s all my doctors. If I don’t my body will be permanently damaged. I thank you for these motivating quotes because motivation is what I need to literally get my butt up in the morning and exercise even though it’s not fun. I’m going to do it for God with God. ❤️
Thanks so much for these verses and for the website which Ive shared with my pastor. I’m studying my MA in PioneerMinistryLeadership and needed some biblical principles for my TR portfolio and developing my ministry in Pastoral Care and working within Primary Care sector for community health services.
God bless
When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless, and intelligence cannot be applied.
I thank the Lord for this site. It is truly helpful for people who seek good health and wellness..
God bless.
Thanks so much for these scriptures! I’m 15 and am preparing to lead workshops about mental health in elementary schools in part with the local health unit and those across the province. I thought a biblical quote would be fantastic (it is a catholic school) and a few of these are perfect!
Thanks again

Isabel, Thanks for making a comment. I’m sorry that you’re being so challenged with frequent health conditions. May you be continually strengthened by the Lord as you contend with your trial. Amen.
Hey this is amazing. I love what God is doing through so many in this area of life. It is about time the church awakens to true prosperity, which starts in the soul. So much of the church has its head stuck in the sand when it comes to fitness. I love when people such as yourself are beating the drum when it comes to fitness in the church. I pray God multiplies your influence!
