What does the Bible say about why good people get sick?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible shows that sickness comes from sin, but those who are beloved by God are not exempt from sickness.

Sickness and death entered the world through sin, as indicated in Romans 5:12, which states, 'therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.' Those who are beloved by God, like Lazarus, often endure sickness for purpose rather than punishment. God’s love does not exempt His people from trials but provides a context for understanding their suffering. Mary and Martha recognized that Lazarus was sick, yet still deeply loved by Jesus, illustrating that trials can exist alongside God’s love and purpose.
