  2. Self-control Ephesians 4:17-32 NIV 17So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 19Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more. 20You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. 21Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus.

  3. Self-control Ephesians 4:17-32 NIV 22You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. 25Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 26"In your anger do not sin"F12 : Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27and do not give the devil a foothold. 28He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands,

  4. Self-control Ephesians 4:17-32 NIV that he may have something to share with those in need. 29Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

  5. Self-control Ephesians 4:17-32 NIV The words “self-control” are not in this passage. How can you make an argument that this passage is about self-control under the power of the Holy Spirit?

  6. Self-control 1 Thessalonians 5:1-8 NIV 1Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. 5You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 6So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled.

  7. Self-control 1 Thessalonians 5:1-8 NIV 7For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. 8But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.

  8. Self-control 1 Thessalonians 5:1-8 NIV Why do we need to have self-control in the days in which we live? What does living in the light have to do with self-control?

  9. Self-control 2 Timothy 3:1-5 NIV 1But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-- 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

  10. Self-control 2 Timothy 3:1-5 NIV Why is God so concerned that we practice self-control under the power of the Holy Spirit?

  11. Self-control Titus 2:1-8 NIV 1You must teach what is in accord with sound doctrine. 2Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance. 3Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 4Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, 5to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

  12. Self-control Titus 2:1-8 NIV 6Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. 7In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness 8and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.

  13. Self-control Titus 2:1-8 NIV Who should have learned the lesson of the value of self-control? Who needs to be taught self-control? What effect does a believer’s self-control have on unbelievers?

  14. Self-control 1 Peter 5:8-9 NIV 8Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

  15. Self-control 1 Peter 5:8-9 NIV What are the consequences of failing to practice self-control under the power of the Holy Spirit?

  16. Self-control 1 Peter 4:7 NIV 7The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray.

  17. Self-control 1 Peter 4:7 NIV Why is prayer so important in the times in which we live? What happens to our prayer life if we fail to practice self-control?

  18. Self-control 1 Peter 1:13-16 NIV 13Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. 14As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy."

  19. Self-control 1 Peter 1:13-16 NIV What is the relationship between self-control and holiness?
