It is a virtue that is highly esteemed in Christian ethics, emphasizing the importance of controlling one's impulses and desires to live a life that is pleasing to God.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>Temperance is frequently mentioned in the New Testament as a fruit of the Spirit and a characteristic of a life transformed by faith in Christ. In <a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22-23</a> , the Apostle Paul lists temperance as one of the fruits of the Spirit: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law."<br><br>In <a href="/2_peter/1-5.htm">2 Peter 1:5-6</a> , believers are encouraged to add temperance to their faith: "For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness."<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b> <br>Temperance is seen as an essential aspect of Christian discipleship. It is not merely about abstaining from excess but involves a holistic approach to living a disciplined life. This virtue is integral to spiritual growth and maturity, as it helps believers resist temptation and live in a manner that reflects the character of Christ.<br><br><b>Practical Application:</b> <br>In practical terms, temperance can be applied to various areas of life, including eating, drinking, speech, and behavior. Christians are called to exercise self-control in their daily lives, avoiding excess and indulgence that can lead to sin. <a href="/proverbs/25-28.htm">Proverbs 25:28</a> warns, "Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control."<br><br><b>Historical Context:</b> <br>In the early church, temperance was a key virtue that distinguished Christians from the surrounding pagan culture, which often celebrated excess and indulgence. The emphasis on self-control was a testament to the transformative power of the Gospel and the work of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life.<br><br><b>Role in Christian Ethics:</b> <br>Temperance is foundational to Christian ethics, as it underpins the believer's ability to live a life that honors God. It is closely related to other virtues such as humility, patience, and love, and is essential for maintaining healthy relationships and a strong witness to the world.<br><br><b>Challenges and Encouragement:</b> <br>While temperance can be challenging in a world that often promotes self-indulgence, Christians are encouraged to rely on the Holy Spirit for strength and guidance. <a href="/philippians/4-13.htm">Philippians 4:13</a> offers encouragement: "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." Believers are reminded that through Christ, they have the power to overcome the desires of the flesh and live a life marked by self-control and discipline.<a name="top" id="top"></a><div class="vheading2">Topical Bible Verses</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/galatians/5-23.htm">Galatians 5:23</a></span><br>Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/2_peter/1-6.htm">2 Peter 1:6</a></span><br>And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/titus/2-2.htm">Titus 2:2</a></span><br>That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/1_timothy/3-2.htm">1 Timothy 3:2</a></span><br>A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach;<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/titus/1-7.htm">Titus 1:7</a></span><br>For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/titus/1-8.htm">Titus 1:8</a></span><br>But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22</a></span><br>But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/titus/2-12.htm">Titus 2:12</a></span><br>Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/1_peter/5-8.htm">1 Peter 5:8</a></span><br>Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour:<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

This meaning is in accordance with classical usage, Plato applying it to "mastery" not only of self, but of any object denoted by a genitive following. Septuagint applies it to the possession "of strongholds" (2 Maccabees 8:30; 10:15), "of a position" (2 Maccabees 10:17), "of the city" (2 Maccabees 13:13), "of wisdom" (Sirach 6:27). The reflexive meaning of "self-mastery," "self-restraint," is equally well established in the classics and Septuagint. Thus, in the verbal form, it is found in <a href="/genesis/43-31.htm">Genesis 43:31</a>, for the self-restraint exercised by Joseph in the presence of his brethren, when they appeared before him as suppliants, and in <a href="/1_samuel/13-12.htm">1 Samuel 13:12</a>, where Saul professes that he "forced" himself to do what was contrary to his desire. For patristic use of the term, see illustrations in Suicer's Thesaurus Ecclesiasticus, I, 1000;. Clement of Alexandria: "Not abstaining from all things, but using continently such things as one has judged should be used"; "such things as do not seem beyond right reason." Basil: "To avoid excess on both sides, so as neither by luxury to be confused, nor, by becoming sickly, to be disabled from doing what has been commanded." Chrysostom (on <a href="/1_timothy/1-8.htm">1 Timothy 1:8</a>) applies it to "one mastering passion of tongue, hand and unbridled eyes." Ellicott and Eadie (on <a href="/galatians/5-23.htm">Galatians 5:23</a>) quote Diogenes Laertius to the effect that the word refers to "control over the stronger passions." In <a href="/1_corinthians/9-25.htm">1 Corinthians 9:25</a>, Paul illustrates it by the training of an athlete, whose regimen is not only described in the Ars Poetica of Horace (412;), and in Epictetus (quoted in Alford on this passage), but can be learned of the many devotees and admirers of similar pursuits today.<br><br>The principle involved is that of the concentration of all man's powers and capabilities upon the one end of doing God's will, in and through whatever calling God appoints, and the renunciation of everything either wholly or to whatever degree necessary, however innocent or useful it may be in its proper place, that interferes with one's highest efficiency in this calling (<a href="/1_corinthians/10-31.htm">1 Corinthians 10:31</a>). Not limited to abstinence, it is rather the power and decision to abstain with reference to some fixed end, and the use of the impulses of physical, as servants for the moral, life. It does not refer to any one class of objects that meets us, but to all; to what concerns speech and judgment, as well as to what appeals to sense. It is properly an inner spiritual virtue, working into the outward life, incapable of being counterfeited or replaced by any abstinence limited to that which is external (Augsburg Confession, Articles XXVI, XXVII). When its absence, however, is referred to as sin, the negative is generally more prominent than the positive side of temperance. The reference in <a href="/acts/24-25.htm">Acts 24:25</a> is to chastity, and in <a href="/1_corinthians/7-9.htm">1 Corinthians 7:9</a>, as the context shows, to the inner side of chastity. In <a href="/1_timothy/3-2.htm">1 Timothy 3:2, 11</a> <a href="/titus/2-2.htm">Titus 2:2</a>, the word nephalios has its original meaning as the opposite to "drunken" (see SOBRIETY; DRINK, STRONG). See also the treatises on ethics by Luthardt (both the Compendium and the History), Martensen, Koestlin and Haring on temperance, asceticism, continence.<br><br>H. E.
