Leviticus 22:25

Neither from a stranger’s hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted for you.

Offerings to God had to be without blemish and taken from the best of the flock, and a lame or defective offering was not acceptable. Even the least defect or impurity was enough for an offering to be rejected, so what is offered to God must be sound and valuable. Animals with corruption or blemishes in them were not acceptable even when received from a stranger's hand.

The same requirement applies to giving for a house of worship, for God's people are to contribute their best and prepare a suitable place for worship rather than treating such spending as wasted. The requirement for a perfect offering illustrates the call to present the body as a living, holy, acceptable sacrifice to God. Applied to the body, this means believers are not to present bodies damaged or defiled by harmful habits and indulgence of appetite.
