3 Bible Verses about Manliness

And every one that enters the lists is temperate in all things: they indeed do it that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible one. I therefore so run, not as unobserved: I so fight, not as one that beateth the air: but I mortify my body and bring it into subjection, least after having preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

My brethren, be not children in sense: but in malice be infants, and in your judgements shew yourselves to be men.

Do thou therefore endure hardship, as becomes a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one, that enters into military service, embarrasseth himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him. And if any one contend in the public games, he gains not the crown unless he contend fairly.
