Esteroides para ganar músculo: ¿es pecado?

Christianity's strongest body text was written about sexual morality, but its principle — 'you are not your own; you were bought with a price; so glorify God in your body' (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) — became the tradition's universal health-ethic. Non-medical steroid use tests badly: exogenous hormones suppress the body's own production, cardiac risk rises, and psychiatric effects (aggression, depression) are documented — accepted knowingly for cosmetic gain. That trades a loan against the temple for a mirror. The sports context sharpens it: Paul's athletic metaphors commend 'self-control in all things' (1 Corinthians 9:25) — the discipline steroids replace — and doping is theft from clean competitors, a violation of both honesty (Ephesians 4:25) and love (Romans 13:10). The legitimate case the tradition readily blesses: hormone therapy prescribed for diagnosed deficiency, monitored by physicians — treatment restores function; enhancement-at-any-cost distorts it. Christian ethicists note the motive-diagnosis too: muscle as identity, image as worth — the discipleship question beneath the syringe, since 'physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things' (1 Timothy 4:8).
