Gentileza
A gentileza é fruto do Espírito e marca do cristão maduro. Palavras suaves, gestos de bondade e amor ao próximo — a Bíblia nos chama a tratar todos com graça e compaixão.
Seja gentil
A vossa gentileza seja conhecida de todos. A palavra branda desvia a ira, e a boa conduta atrai os que estão distantes.
5 Let your moderation be known to all men: the Lord is nigh.
5 Walk in wisdom toward them who are without, gaining time.6 Let your speech be always with gracefulness, seasoned with salt, knowing how you ought to answer every one.
12 Put on, therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of compassion, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering.
Gentileza como fruto
O fruto do Espírito inclui bondade e amabilidade. Amem uns aos outros com afeição fraternal e tratem bem a todos.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, fidelity,23 meekness, temperance: against such things there is no law.
10 Well, then, while we have opportunity let us do good to all: but especially to them, who are of the household of faith.
1 Let brotherly love continue.2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for, by so doing, some have entertained angels, without knowing them.
13 Let us, therefore, no more judge one another; but let us decide, rather, not to lay an occasion of stumbling before a brother, or a cause of falling.
20 Most assuredly, I say to you, he that receives whomsoever I send, receives me; and he that receives me, receives him who sent me.
