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.
Let your reasonableness be known to all men; the LORD [is] near;
A soft answer turns back fury, || And a grievous word raises up anger.
Sayings of pleasantness [are] a honeycomb, || Sweet to the soul, and healing to the bone.
Walk in wisdom toward those outside, redeeming the time, your word always being seasoned with salt in grace—to know how it is necessary for you to answer each one.
Put on, therefore, as chosen ones of God, holy and beloved, yearnings of mercies, kindness, humble-mindedness, 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.
And the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, [and] self-control. Against such there is no law;
therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially to those of the household of faith.
Let brotherly love remain. Do not be forgetful of hospitality, for through this some entertained messengers unaware.
therefore, may we judge one another no longer, but rather judge this, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offense.
You do not hate your brother in your heart; you certainly reprove your fellow, and do not permit sin on him. You do not take vengeance, nor watch the sons of your people; and you have had love for your neighbor as yourself; I [am] YHWH.
"Thus spoke YHWH of Hosts, saying, || Judge [with] true judgment, || And do kindness and mercy with one another. And do not oppress widow, and fatherless, || Sojourner, and poor, || And you do not devise the calamity of one another in your heart.
truly, truly, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, receives Me; and he who is receiving Me, receives Him who sent Me."
