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 3:2-3

3:2 For people ²  will be lovers of themselves, ³  lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3:3 unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, savage, opposed to what is good,

2 Timothy 4:5

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

2 Timothy 3:4

3:4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, loving pleasure rather than loving God.

[1:7]  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.

[3:2]  ² tn Grk “men”; but here ἄνθρωποι (anqrwpoi) is generic, referring to both men and women.

[3:2]  ³ tn Or “self-centered.” The first two traits in 2 Tim 3:2 and the last two in 3:4 are Greek words beginning with the root “lovers of,” and so bracket the list at beginning and end.

[4:5]  ³ tn Or “sober,” “temperate.”
