1 Corinthians 9:27

27But I discipline my body and akeep it under control,
Greek  I pummel my body and make it a slave
lest after preaching to others cI myself should be ddisqualified.

Galatians 5:16-17

Keep in Step with the Spirit

16But I say, ewalk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify fthe desires of the flesh. 17For gthe desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, hto keep you from doing the things you want to do.

Galatians 5:24

24And those who belong to Christ Jesus ihave crucified the flesh with its jpassions and desires.

Philippians 3:12-14

Straining Toward the Goal

12Not that I have already kobtained this or lam already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 13Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: mforgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14I press on toward the goal for nthe prize of the upward ocall of God in Christ Jesus.
