1 Cor 9
26 Therefore I run in such a way, as not without aim; I box in such a way, as not beating the air;
27
but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
Heb 12
1 Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us,
let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Heb 12
4
You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin;
5 and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,
James 4
1 What causes fights and quarrels among you?
Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?

7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you
1 Peter 2
11 Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles,
to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.
