Be gentle and humble with others

Ephesians 4:2 (NIV) Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

2 Timothy 2:24-26 (NIV) 24  And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 25  Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26  and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

A man can counterfeit love, he can counterfeit faith, he can counterfeit hope and all the other graces, but it is very difficult to counterfeit humility.  Dwight Lyman Moody (1837-1899)
