Bible Verses about 'Control'

He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.Like a city that has been breached and made defenseless is the man devoid of self-control.
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.In view of all this, you should make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with endurance, and endurance with piety, and piety with mutual affection, and mutual affection with love.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.In contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things.
Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by mutual consent for a specified time so as to devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan may not tempt you by taking advantage of your lack of self-control.
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but rather a spirit of power and of love and of wisdom.
And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.Everyone who seeks a prize submits himself to rigorous self-discipline in every respect. They do so to win a perishable crown, while we seek an imperishable one.
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God.It is the will of God that you should lead a life of sanctity. You must refrain from sexual immorality. Each of you must learn to acquire a wife from pure and honorable motives, not to gratify passion like the Gentiles who do not know God.
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.It is better to be a patient man rather than a warrior, one who controls his temper rather than one who captures a city.
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.For all of us fall short in many ways. Anyone who never makes a mistake in speech has reached perfection and is able to control every part of his body.
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.Rather, I discipline my body and bring it under control, for fear that after preaching to others I myself may be disqualified.
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.The desires of the flesh result in death, but the desires of the Spirit result in life and peace.
A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.A fool gives free rein to his anger, but a wise man bides his time and calms it.
He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.A patient man shows good sense, but a quick-tempered man displays the height of folly.
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.Those who live according to the flesh can never be pleasing to God.
He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.He who guards his mouth makes his life secure, but one who talks excessively ensures his own downfall.
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.If anyone thinks that he is religious but does not restrain his tongue, he is deceiving himself, and his religion is worthless.
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil.If you are angry, do not sin. Do not let the sun set on your anger, and do not give the devil an opening.
But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.Then Peter asked, “Ananias, why has Satan so gained control of your heart that you lied to the Holy Spirit and retained part of the sale price of the land? While it remained unsold, did it not belong to you? And after it was sold, were not the proceeds yours? What caused you to contrive this scheme? You have lied not to men but to God.”
Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.Therefore, prepare your minds for action. Be calm and fix your hopes completely on the grace that you will be granted at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.But according to Scripture all things have been confined under sin, so that through faith in Jesus Christ what was promised might be given to those who believe.
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.I also ask that the women should dress themselves modestly and decently in suitable clothing. They should be adorned not with braided hair or with gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good works, as is fitting for women who profess their reverence for God.
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.Without any doubt, the mystery of our religion is great: He was made visible in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed to the Gentiles, believed in throughout the world, taken up in glory.
