In the same way, urge the younger men to be self-controlled. In everything, show yourself to be an example by doing good works.

It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.”

No, I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.”

“Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves with the same resolve, because anyone who has suffered in his body is done with sin. Consequently, he does not live out his remaining time on earth for human passions, but for the will of God. For you have spent enough time in the past carrying out the same desires as the Gentiles: living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and detestable idolatry. Because of this, they consider it strange of you not to plunge with them into the same flood of reckless indiscretion, and they heap abuse on you.

That is why the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.”
