Bible Verses About Addiction
Verses for those battling addiction, compulsion, or bondage — and God's promise of true freedom.
Addiction is bondage — and Jesus came to set captives free. These Bible verses for addiction speak directly to the shame, the cycle of failure, and the desperate longing to be free. Scripture declares that where the Son sets you free, you are free indeed. Your body is a temple. There is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. You were bought at a price.

“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.”
