Galatians 5:23
KJV
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
NIV
gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
The key difference between “temperance” (KJV) and “self-control” (modern Bibles) is that temperance can be attributed to the working of the Spirit, while “self-control” is dependent on the “self,” or your own ability.
