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 chassidus (piety) and sobriety be known to kol Bnei Adam; Moshiach Adoneinu is near.
A soft answer turneth away chemah (wrath);
but harsh devarim stir up anger.
Pleasant words are as a honeycomb,
sweet to the nefesh, and marpeh (healing) to the atzmot (bones).
Walk in chochmah toward outsiders, redeeming the time. May your lashon always be with the Chen v’Chesed Hashem, seasoned with melach (salt), so that you may have da’as how it is necessary for you to answer each one.
Therefore, as Bechirim (Chosen ones) of Hashem, Kedoshim and ahuvim, enrobe yourselves in tender feelings of rachmei Shomayim (heavenly compassion, mercy), chesed (lovingkindness), anavah (humility), shiflut (lowliness), and savlanut (longsuffering),
Gentileza como fruto
O fruto do Espírito inclui bondade e amabilidade. Amem uns aos outros com afeição fraternal e tratem bem a todos.
But the p’ri of the Ruach HaKodesh is ahavah (agape), simcha (joy), shalom (peace), savlanut (patience), nedivut (generosity, kindness), chesed (loving-kindness), ne’emanut (faithfulness), Anavah (meekness, shiflut, lowliness), shlitah atzmi (self-control)…would you not agree? — against these things there is no issur (proscription in the Torah).
Therefore, then, as we have opportunity, we should do ma’asim tovim towards all, and especially towards the Bnei Beis HaEmunah.
Let ahavat achim (brotherly love) continue. Do not neglect hachnosas orchim (hospitality), for by this some without having da’as of it, have entertained malachim.
Let us therefore no longer pass judgment on one another, but decide this rather: not to put an occasion for michshol (stumbling, offense, downfall) in the way of the Ach b’Moshiach.
Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine lev; thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not bear chet because of him. Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the bnei ammecha (children of thy people), v’ahavta l’reacha kamocha (but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself): I am Hashem.
Thus saith Hashem Tzva’os, saying:
Administer mishpat emes.
And let every man show chesed and rachamim to his brother;
And oppress not the almanah, nor the yetomim,
the ger, nor the aniyim;
and let none of you imagine ra’ah
against his brother in your lev.
Omein, omein, I say to you, the one receiving whomever I may send receives me, and the one receiving me, receives the One having sent me.
