Physicians and Medicine

So Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants. Then they bore children;

and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.”

So you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you.

A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.

Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.

Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

For I will restore health to you And heal you of your wounds,’ says the Lord, ‘Because they called you an outcast saying: “This is Zion; No one seeks her.” ’

Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,

He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.

My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, And put away evil from your flesh, For childhood and youth are vanity.

As for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.

When Jesus heard that, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.”

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.

When Jesus heard it, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

He said to them, “You will surely say this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in Your country.’ ”

Jesus answered and said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

Luke the beloved physician and Demas greet you.

Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
