Philippians 3:18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
KJV Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

Thanks very much for leading worship, Pastor Jackson. I liked your explanation of "belly-worshipers" in your sermon this morning.
I noted in one of my Greek dictionaries that κοιλία (belly) in classical Greek is often associated with animals, especially pigs. How especially insulting to the enemies of Christ!
