"For this reason, make every effort to add to your faith, goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control. . ." (II Peter 1:5). Peter makes a stairstep list of virtues. That means a person needs to have the first one before the second is achieved. Notice that knowledge precedes self-control. Temperance and self-discipline are synonyms of self-control. There are some good strategies out there that are helpful in developing self-control. It's important to at least be aware of them. That's why I recommended the Messina's site yesterday. Check it out if temperance, self-discipline, or self-control is a problem with you.
