11 For the grace of God which carries with it salvation for all men has appeared,
12 teaching us that, having denied impiety and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, and justly, and piously in the present course of things,
16 The vexation of the fool is presently known; but a prudent {man} covereth shame.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,
23 meekness, self-control: against such things there is no law.
27 But I buffet my body, and lead it captive, lest {after} having preached to others I should be myself rejected.
7 For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of wise discretion.
25 But every one that contends {for a prize} is temperate in all things: *they* then indeed that they may receive a corruptible crown, but *we* an incorruptible.
6 So then do not let us sleep as the rest do, but let us watch and be sober;
1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; and how should I fix my regard upon a maid?
12 because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against principalities, against authorities, against the universal lords of this darkness, against spiritual {power} of wickedness in the heavenlies.
5 But for this very reason also, using therewith all diligence, in your faith have also virtue, in virtue knowledge,
6 in knowledge temperance, in temperance endurance, in endurance godliness,
7 in godliness brotherly love, in brotherly love love:
32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
2 And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of {your} mind, that ye may prove what {is} the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
13 No temptation has taken you but such as is according to man's nature; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able {to bear}, but will with the temptation make the issue also, so that {ye} should be able to bear {it}.
27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left; remove thy foot from evil.
28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is {as} a city broken down, without walls.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
19 So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
8 See to yourselves, that we may not lose what we have wrought, but may receive full wages.
11 A fool uttereth all his mind; but a wise {man} keepeth it back.
