gentleness?

Ephesians 4:1-2 1I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love….

A misunderstood virtue A woman’s virtue? 1 Peter 3:3-4 Do not adorn yourselves outwardly by braiding your hair, and by wearing gold ornaments or fine clothing; rather, let your adornment be the inner self with the lasting beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God's sight.

gentleness defined The problem with words Considerate or kindly; admirable and tender. Not harsh or severe; mild and soft.
