Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh.
For the perverse is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the perverse mouth, do I hate.
A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all men.
Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am humble among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
They that are of a perverse heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked, what is perverse.
