Bible Verses About
Gentleness
Verses on gentleness — the quiet strength of the meek, who will inherit the earth because they move like God moves.
Gentleness is not weakness — it is strength under control. These verses on gentleness call you to let your moderation be known to all, because the Lord is near. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. A soft answer turns away wrath. Gentleness is one of the fruits of the Spirit — it is the posture of Jesus, who described Himself as meek and lowly in heart. In a world that equates power with aggression, gentleness is a countercultural declaration that God's kingdom operates differently.
