Bible Verses for
Kindness
Verses about showing compassion, tenderness, and the fruit of the Spirit in everyday life.
Kindness is one of the fruits of the Spirit — not a personality trait you either have or don't, but something that grows in you as you walk with God. These verses about kindness cover how God is kind to us and how we are called to be kind to one another. Micah 6:8 sets the bar high but simply: love mercy, do justice, walk humbly. Ephesians 4:32 links kindness directly to the forgiveness we have received. When kindness feels hard, go back to the source — God's tenderness toward you is inexhaustible.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”
Galatians 5:22–23
