Power
2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.


For power without love can work, but will not. Love without power would work, but cannot. And power and love can and will, but a sound mind is requisite to guide both.

(J. Barlow, D. D.)
