SELF Part 4 of 4

SELF-DENIAL

Psalm 132:1-5  LORD, remember David and all his self-denial. He swore an oath to the LORD, he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob: "I will not enter my house or go to my bed, I will allow no sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob." 

SELF-DISCIPLINE

2 Timothy 1:7  For the Spirit of God does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 

SELF-INDULGENCE

Matthew 23:25-26  "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean." 

James 1:1-3, 5  Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths eat your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. ... You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.

SELF-SEEKING

Romans 2:8  But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.

1 Corinthians 13:4-5  Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does no dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
