'Controls' in the Bible

However, you are not [living] in the flesh [controlled by the sinful nature] but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God lives in you [directing and guiding you]. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him [and is not a child of God].

For the love of Christ controls and compels us, because we have concluded this, that One died for all, therefore all died;

The woman whom you saw is the great city, which reigns over and dominates and controls the kings and the political leaders of the earth.”
