2 Tim. 1:6      2 Tim. 1:8

Second letter to Timothy 1:7

For God did not (has not given us) the spirit of discouragement (cowardice, timidity, uncertainty, shyness, fearfulness, fright),
but of power (ability, possibility)
and love
and a sound (well-balanced) mind [Spirit].
[Instead of discouragement, God's Spirit gives strength, love, and a clear mind. God's selfless, giving, and righteous love (Gk. agape) is at the center of the last three nouns in the genitive case. The first is the Greek dynamis, which describes how the gift of grace has "explosive power." The last, sophronismos (which only appears here in the New Testament), derives from sozo (to save, liberate, heal, and preserve) and phren (insight and discernment). It refers to a careful and controlled mind equipped with rational thinking and good judgment. A mind that in every situation has the ability to see the whole picture – the bigger picture – from God's perspective, and thus also His will to save, deliver, and heal (Gk. sozo). Self-control and discernment are also needed in order to teach and rebuke in a bold and appropriate manner, see 2 Tim. 4:2.]
