11 "For Gods grace has shined forth bringing salvation to all men
12 And schooling us to renounce impiety and evil passions, And to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age;
22 But the harvest-fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long- suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity, gentleness, and self-control;
23 against such there is no law.
27 but I bruise my body and keep it in subjection, lest having called others to the contest, I should myself be disqualified.
5 For this very reason do your best to add to your faith manliness, and to manliness knowledge,
6 and to knowledge self-control, and to self-control stedfastness, and to stedfastness piety,
7 and to piety brotherly love, and to brotherly love, love itself.
2 And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
25 Every man who contends in the games continually trains himself by all manner of self-restraint. Now they do it to get a fading garland, but we, one that is unfading.
8 Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have wrought, but that you receive a full reward.
12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the despotisms, the empires, the rulers of this present darkness, the spirit-hosts of evil in the heavenly realm.
7 For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but a spirit of power and of love and of self-control.
19 Mark this well, my dear brothers. Let every man be swift in hearing, slow in speaking, slow in growing angry;
6 So then let us not be sleeping as do the rest, but let us be watchful and self-controlled.
13 No temptation has overtaken you that is beyond mans power; but God is faithful, who will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear, but will, with every temptation, provide the way of escape also, so that you may be able to withstand.
