Gentleness-Scriptures
(Gal 5:22 NIV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
(Gal 5:23 NIV) gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
(2 Cor 10:1 NIV) By the meekness and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you--I, Paul, who am "timid" when face to face with you, but "bold" when away!
(Phil 4:5 NIV) Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
(Col 3:12 NIV) Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
(1 Tim 6:11 NIV) But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.
(1 Pet 3:15 NIV) But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,
(Phil 2:5 NIV) Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
(Phil 2:5 KJV) Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
(John 8:3 NIV) The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group
(John 8:4 NIV) and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
(John 8:5 NIV) In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?"
(John 8:6 NIV) They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger.
(John 8:7 NIV) When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
(John 8:8 NIV) Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
(John 8:9 NIV) At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.
(John 8:10 NIV) Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"
(John 8:11 NIV) "No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."
(Luke 19:1 NIV) Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through.
(Luke 19:2 NIV) A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy.
(Luke 19:3 NIV) He wanted to see who Jesus was, but being a short man he could not, because of the crowd.
(Luke 19:4 NIV) So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.
(Luke 19:5 NIV) When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today."
(Luke 19:6 NIV) So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
(Luke 19:7 NIV) All the people saw this and began to mutter, "He has gone to be the guest of a 'sinner.'"
(Luke 19:8 NIV) But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount."
(Luke 19:9 NIV) Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.
(Luke 19:10 NIV) For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."
(Mark 6:32 NIV) So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place.
(Mark 6:33 NIV) But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them.
(Mark 6:34 NIV) When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.
(Mark 6:35 NIV) By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. "This is a remote place," they said, "and it's already very late.
(Mark 6:36 NIV) Send the people away so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat."
(Mark 6:37 NIV) But he answered, "You give them something to eat." They said to him, "That would take eight months of a man's wages ! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?"
(Mark 6:38 NIV) "How many loaves do you have?" he asked. "Go and see." When they found out, they said, "Five--and two fish."
(Mark 6:39 NIV) Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass.
(Mark 6:40 NIV) So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.
(Mark 6:41 NIV) Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.
(Mark 6:42 NIV) They all ate and were satisfied,
(Mark 6:43 NIV) and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.
(Mark 6:44 NIV) The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.
(2 Tim 2:24 NIV) And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.
(2 Tim 2:25 NIV) Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth,
(2 Tim 2:26 NIV) and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.
(Titus 3:2 NIV) to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men.
(James 3:1 NIV) Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
(James 3:2 NIV) We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check.
(James 3:3 NIV) When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal.
(James 3:4 NIV) Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.
(James 3:5 NIV) Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.
(James 3:6 NIV) The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
(James 3:7 NIV) All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man,
(James 3:8 NIV) but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
(James 3:9 NIV) With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness.
(James 3:10 NIV) Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.
(James 3:11 NIV) Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?
(James 3:12 NIV) My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
(James 3:13 NIV) Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
(James 3:14 NIV) But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.
(James 3:15 NIV) Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil.
(James 3:16 NIV) For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
(James 3:17 NIV) But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
(James 3:18 NIV) Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.
(1 Pet 2:18 NIV) Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.
