Bible Verses About Self-Control

Like a city that is broken down and without walls is a man whose spirit is without restraint.

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

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

but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be disqualified.

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age;

Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;

and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control, perseverance; and in perseverance, godliness;

and in godliness, brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.
