12 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
Galatians 5:22-23
King James Version Chapter 5
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law

1 Corinthians 13King James Version
13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

meekness.
noun
the fact or condition of being meek; submissiveness.
In the Bible, meekness is not weakness, but rather strength under control. It involves humility, gentleness, and a submissive spirit to God's will. Meekness is not passivity or lack of conviction, but rather a conscious choice to restrain one's own power and desires, relying on God's strength and guidance. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Humility and Submission:Meekness involves a humble attitude, recognizing one's dependence on God and submitting to His will.
Gentleness and Patience:It is characterized by a gentle and patient spirit, even in the face of provocation or adversity.
Strength Under Control:Biblical meekness is not weakness, but rather a demonstration of power and strength that is guided by humility and love.
Example of Christ:Jesus Christ is the ultimate example of meekness, demonstrating both power and gentleness in his life and ministry.
Inheriting the Earth:In the Beatitudes, Jesus says, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth" (Matthew 5:5). This promise is not about physical inheritance but about receiving the blessings of God's kingdom.
1 Peter 5:6
King James Version Chapter 5
all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
