Thematic Bible
Temperance » In relation to food in relation to speech » Appetites to be restrained
Do not associate with heavy drinkers of wine,
Or with gluttonous eaters of meat,
But [like a boxer] I strictly discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached [the gospel] to others, I myself will not somehow be disqualified [as unfit for service].
Verse Concepts
Jesus said to His disciples, “For this reason I tell you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; or about your body, as to what you will wear.
Verse Concepts
When you sit down to eat with a ruler, consider who and what are before you; For you will put a knife to your throat if you are a man given to desire.
Have you found [pleasure sweet like] honey? Eat only as much as you need,
Otherwise, being filled excessively, you vomit it.
