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 forbearance be known to all men; the Lord [is] near;
1 A soft answer turneth back fury, And a grievous word raiseth up anger.
24 Sayings of pleasantness [are] a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and healing to the bone.
5 in wisdom walk ye toward those without, the time forestalling;6 your word always in grace -- with salt being seasoned -- to know how it behoveth you to answer each one.
12 Put on, therefore, as choice ones of God, holy and beloved, bowels 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.
22 And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law;
10 therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the faith.
1 Let brotherly love remain;2 of the hospitality be not forgetful, for through this unawares certain did entertain messengers;
13 no longer, therefore, may we judge one another, but this judge ye rather, not to put a stumbling-stone before the brother, or an offence.
17 Thou dost not hate thy brother in thy heart; thou dost certainly reprove thy fellow, and not suffer sin on him.18 Thou dost not take vengeance, nor watch the sons of thy people; and thou hast had love to thy neighbour as thyself; I [am] Jehovah.
9 Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: True judgment judge ye, And kindness and mercy do one with another.10 And widow, and fatherless, Sojourner, and poor, ye do not oppress, And the calamity of one another ye do not devise in your heart.
20 verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.
