11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,
12 teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live temperately, righteously, and godly in this present world;
16 A fool's wrath is presently known, but he who covers the injury [is] sane.
25 And every man that strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they [do it] to obtain a corruptible crown, but we, an incorruptible [one].
2 And be not conformed to this age, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your soul that ye may experience what [is] that good and well pleasing and perfect will of God.
28 The man whose spirit has no restraint [is like] a city [that is] broken down [and] without walls.:
27 but I keep my body under, and bring [it] into subjection, lest preaching to others, I myself should become reprobate.:
7 For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of strength and of love and of temperance.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as [do] others; but let us watch and be sober.
1 I made a covenant with my eyes; why then should I look upon a maid?
19 Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
5 Ye also, giving all diligence to the same, show forth virtue in your faith; and in virtue, knowledge;
6 and in knowledge, temperance; and in temperance, patience; and in patience, fear of God;
7 and in fear of God, brotherly love; and in brotherly love, charity.
8 Look to yourselves, that we not lose those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a fulfilled reward.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is [this]: Charity, joy, peace, tolerance, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
27 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left; remove thy foot from evil.:
13 No temptation has taken you but such as is common to man, but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].
21 Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue, and those that love it shall eat its fruit.
11 The fool gives full rein to his spirit, but the wise [man] in the end will bring it into rest.
32 [He that is] slow to anger [is] better than the mighty, and he that rules his spirit than he that takes a city.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the lords of this age, rulers of this darkness, against spiritual wickedness in the heavens.
