Domínio próprio
O domínio próprio é fruto do Espírito e marca de maturidade espiritual. A Bíblia ensina que quem governa o próprio espírito é melhor do que quem conquista uma cidade.
Fruto do Espírito
O fruto do Espírito inclui domínio próprio. A graça de Deus nos ensina a viver de maneira sóbria e justa neste mundo.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control—against such things there is no law.
Governar a si mesmo
Melhor é o que domina o seu espírito do que o que toma uma cidade. A cidade sem muros é o homem sem domínio próprio.
Do you not know that in a stadium race all the runners run, but one gets the prize? Run like that, so that you may win. All athletic competitors exercise general self-control—they do it in order to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one. So that is how I ‘run’, with a definite goal; that is how I fight, with well-aimed blows. Yes, I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, having preached to others, I myself should be rejected..
but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry; since it is better to marry than to burn.
No testing has overtaken you except what is common to man, and God is competent, who will not allow you to be tested beyond what you can stand, but with the testing will also provide the way out, that you may be able to endure it.
Disciplina e vigilância
Sede sóbrios e vigilantes. O diabo anda em derredor como leão rugidor. A sobriedade nos protege e fortalece.
O senhorio de Cristo
Todo domínio pertence a Cristo. Ele é Senhor dos senhores e Rei dos reis — e nos capacita a viver em santidade.
which He exercised in the Christ when He raised Him[S] from among the dead and seated Him at His[F] right, in the heavenly realms, far above every ruler and authority and power and dominion—even every name that can be named, not only in this age but also in the next.
But our citizenship is in Heaven, and it is from there that we eagerly await our Deliverer, Sovereign Jesus Christ; who will transform the body of our humiliation so that it will be conformed to the body of His glory, according to the working by which He is indeed able to subject all things to Himself.
For as all in Adam are dying, so also all in the Christ will be made alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then those who belong to Christ at His coming; then the end, when He hands over the Kingdom to the God and Father, whenever He puts an end to every ruler and all authority and power. Because it is necessary that He reign until He has put all the enemies under His feet.
