16 A fool's anger is instantly known. A prudent man conceals shame.
11 For the grace divine influence of God has been revealed, bringing salvation to all men,
12 instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present age worldperiod of time.
7 God has not given us a spirit of timidity fear, but of power and love and discipline.
1 »I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman.
5 Yes, for this very reason you do your part with all diligence. Supply virtue to your faith. Add knowledge to your virtue.
6 Include self-control with your knowledge. Supply patience to your self-control. Your patience should be helped by godliness.
7 Add brotherly kindness to your godliness. And to your brotherly kindness add love.
12 Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places.
22 The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faith,
23 meekness mildness, self-control; against such there is no law.
27 But I discipline my body, and bring it into subjection, so that after I have preached to others I will not be disqualified.
25 Every man taking part in the contest is temperate in all things. They do it to obtain a corruptible crown but we do it to receive an incorruptible crown.
6 Therefore, let us not sleep like others do. But let us watch and be sober.
2 Do not be conformed to this world religious, social, political, and economic arrangement. But be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Prove what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God.
19 You know this, my beloved brothers. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.
28 He who cannot control his own spirit life is as helpless as a city without walls, open to trouble.
11 A fool loses his temper. But a wise man holds it back.
8 Watch yourselves that you do not lose the things that we worked to produce. You may receive a full reward.
32 Being slow to anger is better than being mighty. Being self-controlled is better than ruling a city.
27 Do not turn to the right or to the left. Remove your foot from evil.
13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to man. God is faithful and he will not allow you to be tempted beyond your limits. He will make a way out, that you will be able to endure it.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Those who love it will eat the fruit.
