And Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."

And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, and fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:

Matt 6:16-18

"Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face: That thou appear not unto men to fast, But unto thy Father, which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward the openly."

Matthew 23:26

Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

Acts 14:23

And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.

Matthew 15:17

Do you not yet understand, that whatsoever enters in at the mouth, goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

Ye blind guides, who strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

Matthew 26:41

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Woe unto you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whilted sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness:

John 6:63

It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you,, they are spirit, and they are life. I Corinthians 10:31

Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God,

John 4:32-34

But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that you know not of. Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him aught to eat? Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

Luke 12:22

And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God: and all these things shall be added unto you.

Matthew 4:4

Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

You cannot serve two masters.

Romans 8:13

If you live after the flesh, you shall die, but if, through the spirit, you mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live.

I Corinth 3:16; 6:19-20

Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit... therefore, glorify God in your body.

Romans 14:17

The kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
