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.
Act in such a way that everyone can know that you are gentle. The Lord is coming soon.
When people are angry with you, reply to them gently, and it will calm them;
but if you reply harshly to them, it causes them to become more angry.
Kind words are like honey [SIM]:
We enjoy them both, and both cause our bodies to be healthy/strong.
Act wisely towards those who do not believe in the Lord Jesus [MTY]; use every opportunity to do that. In particular, always speak graciously and in a pleasant way to those who do not believe in the Lord Jesus. As a result, you will come to know in what manner you should answer each one of them.
Because God has chosen you to be his people; and because he loves you, be compassionate to one another. Be kind to one another. Be humble. Be meek (OR, be considerate toward one another), be patient with one another,
Gentileza como fruto
O fruto do Espírito inclui bondade e amabilidade. Amem uns aos outros com afeição fraternal e tratem bem a todos.
But God’s Spirit causes us to do these things: We love others. We are joyful. We are peaceful. We are patient. We are kind. We are good. We are ones whom others can trust. We are gentle. We control our behavior. There is no law that says people should not think and act in such ways.
So, whenever we have opportunities, we should do what is good to all people. But especially we should do what is good to all our fellow believers.
Continue to love your fellow believers. Do not forget to be hospitable to needy travelers [LIT]. You need to know that by being hospitable, some people have entertained angels without knowing it.
Since it is God who will judge everyone, we must stop saying that God should punish some of our fellow believers! Instead, you/we should decide that you/we will not do anything that would be an example that might cause fellow believers to stop trusting in God [DOU].
‘Do not hate anyone. Instead, honestly rebuke those who ought to be rebuked, in order that you also will not be guilty.
‘Do not try to get revenge against someone or be angry with someone for a long time. Instead, love other people like you love yourself. I, Yahweh your God, am commanding this.
"Tell the people that this is what the Commander of the armies of angels says: ‘Do what is just/right, and act kindly and mercifully toward each other. Do not ◄oppress/treat cruelly► widows or orphans or foreigners or poor people. Do not even think about doing evil to anyone else.’ "
Listen to this carefully: Those who accept any one of you whom I am sending out, God will consider that they are accepting me. And those who accept me, God will consider that they are accepting my Father, who sent me."
