I've also found pleasure in looking at the different Biblical translations - one of the blessings of technology - there is an app or website for that!
2 Timothy 1:7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
The NIV version is the first one where I saw the use of "self-discipline" in this verse. That really spoke to me, and I adopted this verse early on my verse log. Whenever I think about Biblical translations, it is the first verse that comes to mind.
Joan, you are on my daily prayer list, that you have the strength to continue living despite your grief. You are an inspiration as you share your journey with all of us.
That's a great verse. The MSG of that one is not so great, but here is AMP, a big favorite of mine." For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control].
2 Timothy 1:7 AMP
Thank you for your continued prayers. I appreciate them and feel them. And thank you for the kind words.
