Matthew 18:8
If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you.[note: idiom meaning to stop doing a sin] It is better for you to enter into life crippled or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire.
1 Corinthians 9:27
but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.
Philippians 3:19
whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
