22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self control. Against such things there is no law.

11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people, 12 training us in order that, denying impiety and worldly desires, we may live self-controlled and righteously and godly in the present age, 13 looking forward to the blessed hope and the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

7 For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power and love and self-discipline.

5 and for this same reason, and by* applying all diligence, supply with your faith excellence of character, and with excellence of character, knowledge, 6 and with knowledge, self-control, and with self-control, patient endurance, and with patient endurance, godliness, 7 and with godliness, brotherly love, and with brotherly love, love.

32 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.

28 A breached city where there is no wall

is like a man who has no* self-control for his spirit.

11 A fool gives all his breath,*

but the wise holds back in quiet.

19 In many words, transgression is not lacking,

but he who restrains his lips is prudent.

24 Do you not know that those who run in the stadium all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. 25 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. 26 Therefore I run in this way, not as running aimlessly; I box in this way, not as beating the air. 27 But I discipline my body and subjugate it, lest somehow after* preaching to others, I myself should become disqualified.

9 But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with sexual desire.

13 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.

8 Be sober; be on the alert. Your adversary the devil walks around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him*, steadfast in your* faith, because you* know the same kinds of sufferings are being accomplished by your community of believers in the world.

Serving to the Glory of God

7 Now the end of all things draws near. Therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for your prayers.

The Time for Behaving Like the Gentiles is Past

1 Therefore, because* Christ suffered in the flesh, you also equip yourselves with the same way of thinking, because the one who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, 2 in order to live the remaining time in the flesh no longer for human desires, but for the will of God. 3 For the time that has passed was sufficient to do what the Gentiles desire to do*, having lived in licentiousness, evil desires, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties, and wanton idolatries, 4 with respect to which they are surprised when* you do not run with them into the same flood of dissipation, and so they* revile you. 5 They* will give an account to the one who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

4 that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in lustful passion, just as also the Gentiles who do not know God;

22 Bless Yahweh, all his works,*

in all the places of his dominion.

Bless Yahweh, O my soul.

13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,

and your dominion endures throughout all generations.*

13 "I continued watching* in the visions of the night, and look, with the clouds of heaven one like a son of man* was coming, and he came to the Ancient of Days, and was presented* before him. 14 And to him was given dominion and glory and kingship that* all the peoples, the nations, and languages would serve him; his dominion is a dominion without end* that will not cease, and his kingdom is one that will not be destroyed.

2 It is pleasing to me to recount the signs and wonders that the Most High God worked for me. 3 How great are his signs and wonders, how strong is his kingdom, an everlasting kingdom;* and his sovereignty is from generation to generation.

6 For a child has been born for us;

a son has been given to us.

And the dominion will be on his shoulder,

and his name is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

7 His dominion will grow continually,

and to peace there will be no end*

on* the throne of David and over* his kingdom,

to establish it* and sustain it

with justice and righteousness

now and forever.

The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this.

13 who has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us* to the kingdom of the Son he loves*, 14 in whom we have the redemption, the forgiveness of sins,

20 which he has worked* in Christ, raising* him from the dead and seating him* at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 above all rule and authority and power and lordship and every name named, not only in this age but also in the coming one,

20 For our commonwealth exists in heaven, from which also we eagerly await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who will transform our humble body to be conformed to his glorious body, in accordance with the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.

9 knowing that Christ, because he* has been raised from the dead, is going to die no more, death no longer being master over him.

8 and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.

9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this person does not belong to him*.

22 For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in his own group: Christ the first fruits, then those who are Christ’s at his coming, 24 then the end, when he hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when he has abolished all rule and all authority and power. 25 For it is necessary for him to reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.

2 "Domination and dread are with him

who makes peace in his high heavens.
