For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
All Commentaries on 2 Timothy 1:7 Go To 2 Timothy 1
John Chrysostom
AD 407
For the Spirit that makes us cry, “Abba, Father,” inspires us with love both toward him and toward our neighbor, that we may love one another. For love arises from power and not from fearing.
