Autocontrole
O autocontrole é fruto do Espírito e virtude indispensável. A graça de Deus nos ensina a renunciar à impiedade e a viver com sobriedade, domínio próprio e piedade no mundo presente.
Fruto e virtude
O domínio próprio é fruto do Espírito. Acrescentai ao conhecimento o autocontrole. A disciplina interior produz maturidade.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control. Against such things there is no law.
and for this same reason, and by applying all diligence, supply with your faith excellence of character, and with excellence of character, knowledge, and with knowledge, self-control, and with self-control, patient endurance, and with patient endurance, godliness, and with godliness, brotherly love, and with brotherly love, love.
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people, training us in order that, denying impiety and worldly desires, we may live self-controlled and righteously and godly in the present age,
For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power and love and self-discipline.
But I discipline my body and subjugate it, lest somehow after preaching to others, I myself should become disqualified.
And everyone who competes exercises self-control in all things. Thus those do so in order that they may receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one.
Temptation has not come upon you except what is common to humanity. But God is faithful, who will not permit you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but will also make a way out together with the temptation, so that you may be able to endure it.
Dominar a si mesmo
Melhor é quem domina o seu espírito do que quem toma uma cidade. A cidade sem muros é quem não tem autocontrole.
He who is slow to anger is better than him who is mighty,
and he who controls his spirit than him who captures a city.
A breached city where there is no wall
is like a man who has no self-control for his spirit.
A fool gives all his breath,
but the wise holds back in quiet.
Do not swerve right or left;
remove your foot from evil.
As for a fool, on that very day he makes his anger known,
but he who ignores an insult is prudent.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love her will eat of her fruit.
And do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, so that you may approve what is the good and well-pleasing and perfect will of God.
Doers of the Message, Not Just Hearers
Understand this, my dear brothers: every person must be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
So then, we must not sleep like the rest, but must be on the alert and be self-controlled.
Job’s Final Defense Continued
"I made a covenant with my eyes,
so how could I look closely upon a virgin?
Watch yourselves that you do not lose what we have worked for, but receive a full reward.
