To mingle; sprinkle; moisten.And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened TEMPERED with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of wheaten flour shalt thou make them. ( Exodus 29:2 )
Self-control.But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, TEMPERANCE: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. ( Galatians 5:22-24 )
To exercise power or self-control.Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is TEMPERATE in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. ( 1 Corinthians 1:1 Galatians 9:24-25 )
