'Subdue' in the Bible

and the man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with chains.

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].

Do not quench [subdue, or be unresponsive to the working and guidance of] the [Holy] Spirit.
