11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people.
12 It trains us to renounce ungodly living and worldly passions so that we might live sensible, honest, and godly lives in the present world
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things.
27 No, I keep on beating my body and making it my slave so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not somehow be disqualified.
25 Everyone who enters an athletic contest practices self-control in everything. They do it to win a wreath that dies, but we to win one that never dies.
2 Do not be conformed to this world, but continually be transformed by the renewing of your minds so that you may be able to determine what God's will is—what is proper, pleasing, and perfect.
19 You must understand this, my dear brothers. Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.
13 No temptation has overtaken you that is unusual for human beings. But God is faithful, and he will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength. Instead, along with the temptation he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to endure it.
8 See to it that you don't destroy what we have worked for, but that you receive your full reward.
5 For this very reason, you must make every effort to supplement your faith with moral character, your moral character with knowledge,
6 your knowledge with self-control, your self-control with endurance, your endurance with godliness,
7 your godliness with brotherly kindness, and your brotherly kindness with love.
6 Therefore, let us not fall asleep like others do, but let us stay awake and be sober.
7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but one of power, love, and self-discipline.
12 For our struggle is not against a human opponent, but against rulers, against authorities, against cosmic powers in the darkness around us, against evil spiritual forces in the heavenly realm.
