Study Notes

Kindness

Kindness focuses on our actions; Goodness should describe our motives; and Gentleness should describe the manner in which we handle people.

Goodness 

Goodness is uprightness in character that does the right thing for the right reason, namely a desire to please God and express God’s love to others.

Gentleness

Gentleness is meekness—power under control—that treats others with tender sensitivity and humbly endures unkindness and injury with patience.
