Timidity contrasted with God-given qualities · dominant
In 2 Timothy 1:7, the genitive singular feminine form occurs in the phrase concerning a spirit not given by God; the APB renders the clause "a spirit of timidity," contrasting it with power, love, and self-discipline.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 2 Timothy 1:7, the APB presents the term within "a spirit of timidity." The verse-level contrast supplies the clearest context for its contribution.
