² With all gentle and quiet behaviour, taking whatever comes, putting up with one another in love;

¹² As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behaviour be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things;

¹³ Being gentle to one another and having forgiveness for one another, if anyone has done wrong to his brother, even as the Lord had forgiveness for you:

⁷ Love has the power of undergoing all things, having faith in all things, hoping all things.

¹⁵ But give honour to Christ in your hearts as your Lord; and be ready at any time when you are questioned about the hope which is in you, to give an answer in the fear of the Lord and without pride;

⁴ Love is never tired of waiting; love is kind; love has no envy; love has no high opinion of itself, love has no pride;

⁵ Love's ways are ever fair, it takes no thought for itself; it is not quickly made angry, it takes no account of evil;

³ Happy are the poor in spirit: for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

⁴ Happy are those who are sad: for they will be comforted.

⁵ Happy are the gentle: for the earth will be their heritage.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, a quiet mind, kind acts, well-doing, faith,

²³ Gentle behaviour, control over desires: against such there is no law.

² Take on yourselves one another's troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.

⁴ Even as he made selection of us in him from the first, so that we might be holy and free from all evil before him in love:

¹¹ But you, O man of God, keep yourself from these things, and go after righteousness, religion, faith, love, a quiet mind, gentle behaviour.

²⁵ Gently guiding those who go against the teaching; if by chance God may give them a change of heart and true knowledge,

¹⁵ This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One.

¹⁶ For where envy is, and the desire to get the better of others, there is no order, but every sort of evil-doing.

¹⁷ But the wisdom which is from heaven is first holy, then gentle, readily giving way in argument, full of peace and mercy and good works, not doubting, not seeming other than it is.

¹⁸ And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace for those who make peace.

²⁹ Take my yoke on you and become like me, for I am gentle and without pride, and you will have rest for your souls;

³ Make search for the Lord, all you quiet ones of the earth, who have done what is right in his eyes; make search for righteousness and a quiet heart: it may be that you will be safely covered in the day of the Lord's wrath.

¹⁵ For this is the word of him who is high and lifted up, whose resting-place is eternal, whose name is Holy: my resting-place is in the high and holy place, and with him who is crushed and poor in spirit, to give life to the spirit of the poor, and to make strong the heart of the crushed.

¹⁹ Better it is to have a gentle spirit with the poor, than to take part in the rewards of war with men of pride.

³⁴ He makes sport of the men of pride, but he gives grace to the gentle-hearted.

⁶ Though the Lord is high, he sees those who are low; and he has knowledge from far off of those who are lifted up.

³ Now the man Moses was more gentle than any other man on earth.

¹⁹ And he said to them in answer, O generation without faith, how long will I have to be with you? how long will I put up with you? let him come to me.

¹⁹ Doing the Lord's work without pride, through all the sorrow and troubles which came on me because of the evil designs of the Jews:

¹ We who are strong have to be a support to the feeble, and not give pleasure to ourselves.

²¹ For this reason, putting away all dirty behaviour and the overweight of evil, take into your souls without pride the word which, being planted there, is able to give you salvation.

⁹ Be full of joy, O daughter of Zion; give a glad cry, O daughter of Jerusalem: see, your king comes to you: he is upright and has overcome; gentle and seated on an ass, on a young ass.

¹ The spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make the broken-hearted well, to say that the prisoners will be made free, and that those in chains will see the light again;

² To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure has come, and the day of punishment from our God; to give comfort to all who are sad;

³ To give them a fair head-dress in place of dust, the oil of joy in place of the clothing of grief, praise in place of sorrow; so that they may be named trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, and so that he may have glory.

⁴ And go nobly on in your power, because you are good and true and without pride; and your right hand will be teaching you things of fear.
