“Temperance.”
Temperance is moderation. “Let your moderation be known unto all men.” Phil. 4:55Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. (Philippians 4:5). God wants us to be moderate in all things. Eating, exercise, and many things that are good and necessary in themselves, ought not to be carried to excess. We must be careful that we do not think too much about any of these things and set our hearts upon them.
Let Jesus always have the first place and be the dearest object. Then we will bear much fruit and people will see in us, love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance.
