Biblical meaning of gentle.

1 answer

In the Bible, gentleness is often described as a fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23. It is the quality of being kind, tender, and mild-mannered towards others, even in difficult or challenging circumstances. Gentleness is also associated with humility and patience, as shown in Colossians 3:12-13 and Ephesians 4:2. It is often contrasted with harshness, anger, and arrogance. Jesus is often described as gentle and humble in heart (Matthew 11:29), and followers of Christ are encouraged to imitate his example of gentleness towards others.
