II Timothy 1:7

*For God hath not given us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of sobriety.

Romans 8:15.

Of fear.{ Ver. 7. Timoris, deilias, timiditatis, it is not phobou.|} Of a cowardly fear, and want of courage. --- Of sobriety.{ Ver. 7. Et sobrietatis, kai sophronismou.|} Though the Protestants here translate of a sound mind, yet they translate the same Greek word by sobriety in divers other places, as in Acts 26:25; 1 Timothy 2:9 and 15. and 2 Timothy 3:2; Titus 1:8. etc. (Witham)
