Meekness:
a calm temper of mind, not easily provoked (Jam 3:7,8). Peculiar promises are made to the meek (Mat 5:5; Isa 66:2). The cultivation of this spirit is enjoined (Col 3:12; 1Ti 6:11; Zep 2:3), and exemplified in Christ (Mat 11:29), Abraham (Gen 13; 16:5,8) Moses (Num 12:3), David (Zec 12:8; 2Sa 16:10,12), and Paul (1Cr 9:19).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
