What does the Bible say about meekness and gentleness?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that meekness and gentleness reflect the character of Christ, who was humble and patient with sinners.

In 2 Corinthians 10:1, Paul appeals to the Corinthian church by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, demonstrating that these qualities are essential in the Christian life. Christ exemplified meekness in His earthly ministry, being kind to sinners and praying for those who crucified Him. The importance of meekness is reiterated in 1 Thessalonians 2:7, where Paul describes himself as gentle among the Thessalonians, akin to a nursing mother cherishing her children. This humility and gentleness are vital for Christians, serving to foster love and patience with others while remaining bold in proclaiming the truth of the gospel.
