11 For the grace of God has appeared for the salvation of all men,
12 training us to renounce irreligion and worldly passions, and to live sober, upright, and godly lives in this world,
16 The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent man ignores an insult.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law.
27 but I pommel my body and subdue it, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.
2 Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
28 A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.
8 Look to yourselves, that you may not lose what you have worked for, but may win a full reward.
7 for God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power and love and self-control.
6 So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.
1 "I have made a covenant with my eyes; how then could I look upon a virgin?
19 Know this, my beloved brethren. Let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
5 For this very reason make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge,
6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness,
7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love.
11 A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man quietly holds it back.
27 Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
12 For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
32 He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
