"A large proportion of all the infirmities that afflict the human family, are the results of their own wrong habits. It is not possible for us to glorify God while living in violation of the laws of life. The heart cannot possibly maintain consecration to God while lustful appetite is indulged. A diseased body and disorderd intellect, because of continual indulgence in hurtful lust, make sanctification of the body and spirit impossible. The apostle understood the importance of the healthful condition of the body for the successful perfection of Christian character. He mentions the fruit of the Spirit, among which is temperance."
Health Reformer 3/1878 E.G.W.
But the fruit of the Spirit is............ temperance:
Galatians 5:22,23
