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.
Be your patience [or your temperance] known to all men; the Lord is nigh.
A soft answer breaketh ire; an hard word raiseth strong vengeance.
Words well-set together is a comb of honey; health of bones is the sweetness of soul.
Walk ye in wisdom to them that be withoutforth, again-buying time.
Your word be savoured with salt evermore in grace; that ye know, how it behooveth you to answer to each man.
Therefore ye, as the chosen of God, holy and loved, clothe [ye] you with the entrails of mercy, benignity, and meekness, temperance, patience;
Gentileza como fruto

Therefore while we have time, work we good to all men; but most to them that be home-like [or that be the household meine] of the faith.
The charity of brotherhood dwell in you,
and do not ye forget hospitality; for by this some men pleased to angels, that were received to harbour.
Therefore no more deem we each other; but more deem ye this thing, that ye put not hurting, or cause of stumbling, to a brother.
Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart, but reprove thou him openly, lest thou have sin on him.
Thou shalt not seek vengeance, neither thou shalt be mindful of the wrong of thy citizens; thou shalt love thy friend as thyself; I am the Lord.
The Lord of hosts saith these things, and speaketh, Deem ye true doom, and do ye mercy, and doings of mercy, each man with his brother.
And do not ye falsely challenge a widow, and fatherless, either mother-less, and comeling, and poor man; and a man think not in his heart evil to his brother.
Truly, truly, I say to you, he that taketh whomever I shall send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.
