2PE 1:5-6⁵And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; ⁶And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; (2 Peter 1:5‑6)

Giving all diligence, add . . . to knowledge self-control.

2 Peter 1:5, 6⁵And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; ⁶And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; (2 Peter 1:5‑6) N. K. J. V

Self-control is such a necessary characteristic to have. We have confidence in another if we see them able to control themselves. This doesn’t mean that you can’t have fun and a good time. But you do need to know when the fun is beginning to turn into stupidity and it’s time to stop. God-given knowledge will help us determine when things are approaching the non-acceptable level. Then we can let self-control take over and bring whatever it is that is about to get out of hand into submission.
