The fruit of the Spirit is temperance. Gal. 5:22
From Samuel Bagster's Daily Light for the Daily Path Devotional [c. 1875]
The fruit of the Spirit is temperance. Gal. 5:22
Every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: but I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. I Cor. 9:25-27
Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit. Eph. 5:18
