| A-1 | Adjective | Strong's Number: g4998 | Greek: sophron |
Sober, Soberly, Soberminded:
denotes "of sound mind" (sozo, "to save," phren, "the mind"); hence, "self-controlled, soberminded," always rendered "sober-minded" in the RV; in 1Ti 3:2; Tts 1:8, AV, "sober;" in Tts 2:2, AV, "temperate;" in Tts 2:5, AV, "discreet."
Note: For nephalios (akin to B, No. 1), translated "sober" in 1Ti 3:11; Tts 2:2, see TEMPERATE.
| B-1 | Verb | Strong's Number: g3525 | Greek: nepho |
Sober, Soberly, Soberminded:
signifies "to be free from the influence of intoxicants;" in the NT, metaphorically, it does not in itself imply watchfulness, but is used in association with it, 1Th 5:6, 8; 2Ti 4:5; 1Pe 1:13; 4:7, RV (AV, "watch"); 5:8. Cp. eknepho and ananepho, under AWAKE, No. 3 and Note.

Sober, Soberly, Soberminded:
akin to A, is rendered "to think soberly," Rom 12:3; "to be sober," 2Cr 5:13; "to be soberminded," Tts 2:6; in 1Pe 4:7, AV "be ye sober" (RV, "of sound mind"); see MIND, B, No. 5.
| B-3 | Verb | Strong's Number: g4994 | Greek: sophronizo |
Sober, Soberly, Soberminded:
denotes "to cause to be of sound mind, to recall to one's senses;" in Tts 2:4, RV, it is rendered "they may train" (AV, "they may teach... to be sober," marg., "wise"); "train" expresses the meaning more adequately; the training would involve the cultivation of sound judgment and prudence.

Sober, Soberly, Soberminded:
