Paul disciplined his body and brought it into subjection - 1 Cor. 9:27 • Ways our bodies must be disciplined: • Food - Prov. 23:20; 1 Cor. 8:13 • Sex - 1 Cor. 6:15-18; 7:8-9; Matt. 19:12 • Health - 1 Tim. 5:23 • Tongue - Jas. 3:8-10 • We are to glorify God in our body - 1 Cor. 6:19-20 Discipline of the Body

  7. Beware of “self-imposed” human doctrines/practices that promise a special ability to control the mind and body • Only true control is through a knowledge of Christ - Col. 2:20-3:10 • Ex – cultic practices (meditation, asceticism), dietary and other restrictions (celibacy) • False humility – no value in controlling flesh The Need for Self-Control
