Philippians 4 : 5 “Let your gentleness be evident to all” reveals a special consideration given to other people, to patiently forbear under injury without desiring revenge. It is a spirit that is ready to forgive, and it possesses a gentleness of temper. It is alsotemperate in physical desires and demonstrates equity; that is, justice and impartiality in business. A person of such quality will avoid extremes and will not be explosive. The peace of God is obviously not in a person's life if he has an explosive temper. This quality can only be possible to the indwelling Holy Spirit and the fruit that is produced by Him in our lives.
Philippians 4:1-7
Therefore, my brothers, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you should stand firm in the Lord, dear friends!
Exhortations
I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord.
Yes, and I ask you, loyal yokefellow, help these women who have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow-workers, whose names are in the book of life. Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
