• “Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.¹⁸ And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. ¹⁹ Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, ²⁰ for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.” – Ephesians 6:17 -20 (NIV)

      is a person who lacks self-control.“ – Proverbs 25:28 (NIV)

 

• “But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.“ – Matthew 5:28 (NIV)

 

• “Above all else, guard your heart,
      for everything you do flows from it.
  ²⁴ Keep your mouth free of perversity;
      keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
  ²⁵ Let your eyes look straight ahead;
      fix your gaze directly before you.
  ²⁶ Give careful thought to the^[a] paths for your feet
      and be steadfast in all your ways.
  ²⁷ Do not turn to the right or the left;
      keep your foot from evil.” – Proverbs 4:23-27 (NIV)
  

 

• “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.“ – 2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)

 

• “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; ²⁰ you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.“ – 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NIV)
