'Themselves' in the Bible

From which some have been turned away, giving themselves to foolish talking;

It is my desire, then, that in every place men may give themselves to prayer, lifting up holy hands, without wrath or argument.

Women are to be serious in behaviour, saying no evil of others, controlling themselves, true in all things.

For those who have done good work as Deacons get for themselves a good position and become free from fear in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Making ready for themselves a safe place for the time to come, so that the true life may be theirs.
