Self-control (Greek: egkrateia, Latin: continentia)Main article: Self-control
The word rendered “self-control” is “egkrateia” in the Greek. Strong’s #1466. Self-control

The Greek word used in Galatians 5:23 is “egkrateia”, which means having command or “mastery over” (krat- as in “autocrat”), or possession of, “one’s own behavior.”

“...make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.”[2 Pet 1:5-7]
