What does the Bible say about having a sound mind?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that God gives His children a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind, which refers to a disciplined mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

In 2 Timothy 1:7, Paul writes that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. The term 'sound mind' here is derived from a Greek word meaning 'disciplined.' This implies that believers are not to be led by fear or turmoil but instead are endowed with the ability to think clearly and wisely about their faith and conduct. Paul emphasizes that such an understanding is crucial for living out the Christian life amidst challenges and confusion in the world.
