Philippians 4
New International Version (NIV)
Closing Appeal for Steadfastness and Unity
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Being Gentle means, making every effort to be with the mindset of God.
Ephesians 4
New International Version (NIV)
Unity and Maturity in the Body of Christ
4 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
Gentleness is an act of showing respect for others, being calm and peace when there are reasons for anger with others.
Ephesians 4:26
New International Version (NIV)
26 “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
Learn from Jesus, for he is Gentle:
Matthew 11:29 NIVTake my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Holy Spirit helps us:
