Self Control

Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who does not control his temper.

Instead, he must be hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear-minded and sober, so that you can pray.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

…gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

He who is slow to anger is better than a warrior, and he who controls his temper is greater than one who captures a city.

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge;

…and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness;

In the same way, urge the younger men to be self-controlled.

No, I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it.
