And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity."

Bible Verses About Self Control

Answer 3

Excellent Question Rachel.

My favs - Romans 12:2, and 2 Cor. 10:3-5,
and Phil. 4:8-9, and 1 Cor. 13:4-7:"11", and lastly Gal. 5:22-23.
They speak of transforming one's mind, in order to know how to Love all people, including yourself Unconditionally, and thus the result is a stable peace of mind {which brings self-control and will-power) and Happiness. Read these verses, with the intent of practicing them, in the Amplified Bible.

Hope this helps some. Take Care, and
Have an excellent weekend.

Romans 8:38 - 39 (NLT) "And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow - not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below - indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."
