22 Bless Jehovah, all his works in all places he rules. Bless Jehovah with all my being.
9 We know that Christ being raised from the dead died no more; death no longer has dominion over him.
8 Those influenced by the sinful flesh cannot please God.
9 But you are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed Gods Spirit dwells in you. If any one does not have the Spirit of Christ he does not belong to him.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion throughout all generations.
24 Do you not know that they who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain the prize.
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.
26 I do not run without definite aim purpose and I do not fight like a man beating the air.
27 But I discipline my body, and bring it into subjection, so that after I have preached to others I will not be disqualified.
20 However, our citizenship is in heaven. We also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
21 Christ will, through his power, bring everything under his authority. He will change our humble bodies and make them like his glorified glorious body literally and figuratively: body of his glory. He is able to subject all things to himself.
7 God has not given us a spirit of timidity fear, but of power and love and discipline.
2 »It seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has done for me.
3 »How great are his signs! How mighty are his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.
13 »I saw in the night-visions someone like a SON OF MAN came with the clouds of heaven. He came to the Ancient of Days. They brought him near before him.
14 »He was given legal power and a kingdom. Out of his glory all the peoples, nations, and languages will serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away. His kingdom will not be destroyed. (Revelation 11:15) (Daniel 2:44) (Psalm 45:6)
11 A fool loses his temper. But a wise man holds it back.
7 The end of all things is near. Be of sound mind and judgment. Also be sober for the purpose of prayer.
9 But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry. It is better to marry than to be inflamed with lust.
1 Since Christ suffered physically for us, you too must strengthen yourselves with the same way of thinking that he had. Whoever suffers physically has ceased from sin.
2 From now on you must live the rest of your earthly lives controlled by Gods will and not by human desires lusts.
3 You have spent enough time in the past doing what unbelievers like to do. Your lives were spent in indecency, lusts, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and the disgusting worship of idols false gods.
4 They think it strange that you do not run with them in wild and reckless living and they speak evil about you.
5 They will give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead.
6 For unto us a child is born. Unto us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. He will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on Davids throne and over his kingdom. He will establish and uphold it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts will accomplish this.
13 He rescued us from the power of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of his love the Son he dearly loves.
14 We have in him our redemption and the forgiveness of our sins.
8 Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion walks about, seeking whom he may devour consume.
9 Stand firm in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brothers in the world.
28 He who cannot control his own spirit life is as helpless as a city without walls, open to trouble.
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.
13 Look for the blessed hope and appearance of the glory of the great God. And look for our Savior, Jesus Christ.
20 He operated in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places.
21 It is far above all governments and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
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.
19 Sin does not hide from a multitude of words. The wise controls his lips.
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.
32 Being slow to anger is better than being mighty. Being self-controlled is better than ruling a city.
4 Every one of you should know how to possess his own vessel in holiness and honor,
5 not in the lust of sexual desire like the nations who do not know God.
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.
22 In Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.
23 Everyone will be raised to life in the right order: Christ the first fruits and afterward those who belong to Christ at the time of his coming.
24 In the end Christ will deliver the kingdom to God the Father. Christ will destroy every ruler and all authority and all power.
25 For he Christ must rule as king until he God puts all enemies under his feet his control. (Psalm 2; 110) (Daniel 2:44) (Revelation 5:10; Revelation 20:6)
2 »Rulership and awe belong to God. He establishes order in the heights of heaven.
