11 For the favor of God, which brings salvation, has appeared to all men;
12 teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world-
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, fidelity,
23 meekness, temperance: against such things there is no law.
27 but, I mortify my body, and keep it in subjection; lest, perhaps, having proclaimed to others, I myself should not be accepted.
25 Now, every one who contends is temperate in all things: they, indeed, that they may receive a fading crown; but we, one that does not fade.
2 And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind; that you may approve the will of God, which is good, and acceptable, and perfect.
8 Look to yourselves, that we may not lose the things which we have wrought, but may receive a full reward.
6 Therefore, let us not sleep, even as others; but let us watch and be sober.
12 For we wrestle not with flesh and blood, but with governments, with powers, with the rulers of this darkness: with spiritual wickedness in the heavenly regions.
13 No trial has come upon you but such as belongs to man; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tried above what you are able, but will, with the trial, also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
5 And for this very reason, indeed, giving all diligence, add to your faith, courage; and to courage, knowledge;
6 and to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, patience; and to patience, godliness;
7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love:
7 For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice; but of power, and of love, and of self-government.
