2 Timothy 1:7

1:7 For God did not give us a Spirit ¹  of fear but of power and love and self-control.

2 Timothy 4:5

4:5 You, however, be self-controlled ²  in all things, endure hardship, do an evangelist’s work, fulfill your ministry.

¹ tn Or “a spirit,” denoting the human personality under the Spirit’s influence as in 1 Cor 4:21; Gal 6:1; 1 Pet 3:4. But the reference to the Holy Spirit at the end of this section (1:14) makes it likely that it begins this way also, so that the Holy Spirit is the referent.

² tn Or “sober,” “temperate.”
