| A-1 | Noun | Strong's Number: g1466 | Greek: enkrateia |
Temperance, Temperate:
from kratos, "strength," occurs in Act 24:25; Gal 5:23; 2Pe 1:6 (twice), in all of which it is rendered "temperance;" the RV marg., "self-control" is the preferable rendering, as "temperance" is now limited to one form of self-control; the various powers bestowed by God upon man are capable of abuse; the right use demands the controlling power of the will under the operation of the Spirit of God; in Act 24:25 the word follows "righteousness," which represents God's claims, self-control being man's response thereto; in 2Pe 1:6, it follows "knowledge," suggesting that what is learned requires to be put into practice.
