Thematic Bible: Appetites to be restrained


Thematic Bible




but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.

And He said to His disciples, For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on.


When you sit down to dine with a ruler, Consider carefully what is before you, And put a knife to your throat If you are a man of great appetite.

Have you found honey? Eat only what you need,
That you not have it in excess and vomit it.
