The Apostle Paul

• 1 Cor. 6
• 15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members
  of Christ?
• 17 he that is joined unto the Lord is one
  spirit.
• 19 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?
• 20 For ye are bought with a price therefore
  glorify God in your body, and in your spirit,
  which are God's.

Joseph Smith

• We came to this earth that we might have a body
  and present it pure before God in the Celestial
  kingdom. The great principle of happiness
  consists in having a body.
• The devil has no body, and herein is his
  punishment. He is pleased when he can obtain the
  tabernacle of man and when cast out by the Savior
  he asked to go into a herd of swine, showing that
  he would prefer a swines body to having none.
  (TPJS, p. 181)

Heber J. Grant

• "No man who breaks the Word of Wisdom can gain
  the same amount of knowledge and intelligence in
  this world as the man who obeys the law. 
• I don't care who he is or where he comes from,
  his mind will not be as clear, and he cannot
  advance as far and as rapidly and retain his
  power as much as he would if he obeyed the Word
  of Wisdom." (CR, Apr 1925)

Section 89 Cont

• 20 And shall run and not be weary, and shall walk
  and not faint.
• 21 And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise,
  that the destroying angel shall pass by them, as
  the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen

Russell M. Nelson

• The Word of Wisdom is a spiritual
  law. To the obedient He proclaimed
  I, the Lord, give unto them a promise,
  that the destroying angel shall pass by
  them, as the children of Israel, and not
  slay them.
• At the first passover, the destroying angel did
  pass over houses that were marked with blood on
  the doorposts. In our day, the faithful keep the
  Word of Wisdom. It is one of our signs unto God
  that we are His covenant people.
