What comes to your mind when you think of the words “self-control” and “temperance”? Those are just two of the questions we ask you to examine in our Bible Study Guide, And to Knowledge Temperance.

The New International Version translates the word “self-control”, while the King James Version translates the word “temperance”. I checked my dictionary and there are subtle differences in the two. In her commentary, Temperate in All Things, Scarlett Stough examines how the word “temperance” gives a better understanding of what Peter was saying.

In Needs vs. Wants, Lenny Cacchio examines a practical application of temperance.
