Abstract/Summary: 
'Self-care' is a popular topic. It's important to see what the Bible if anything has to say on the subject. Looking at 1 Tim.4:1-8 and 1 Cor. 6:19-20 we can see that self-care across the different spheres is Biblical, a way to glorify God in our body. However self-care must not become an idol, where a good thing becomes a god-thing. Indeed, not ignoring other areas of our lives we are to prioritise spiritual self-care. We are to train ourselves for godliness which is of value in this life as well as the life to come.
