Control Bible Verses

Acts 5:29

But Peter and the apostles replied,

“We must obey God rather than any human authority”.

Romans 8:9

But you are not controlled by your sinful nature.

You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the

Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those

who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them

do not belong to him at all.)

1 Corinthians 4:3-4 

As for me, it matters very little how I might be evaluated

by you or by any human authority. I don’t even trust my

own judgment on this point.  My conscience is

clear, but that doesn’t prove I’m right. It

is the Lord himself who will examine me and decide.

2 Corinthians 5:14

Either way, Christ’s love controls us. Since we

believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that

we have all died to our old life.

Galatians 1:10 

Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people,

but of God. If pleasing people were my goal,

I would not be Christ’s servant.

Colossians 1:10

Then the way you live will always honor and please

the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind

of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you

learn to know God better and better.

1 Thessalonians 2:4 

For we speak as messengers approved by God to

be entrusted with the Good News. Our purpose is

to please God, not people. He alone examines

the motives of our hearts.
