圣灵所结的果子，就是温柔(加5：22，23)。
谦卑人必因耶和华增添欢喜；人间贫穷的必因以色列的圣者快乐(赛29：19)。你们若不回转，变成小孩子的样式，断不得进天国。所以，凡自己谦卑像这小孩子的，他在天国里就是最大的(太18：3，4)。温柔、安静的心为妆饰，这在 神面前是极宝贵的(彼前3：4)。爱是不自夸，不张狂(林前13：4)。要追求温柔(提前6：11)。我心里柔和谦卑，你们当负我的轭，学我的样式(太11：29)。他被欺压，在受苦的时候却不开口，他像羊羔被牵到宰杀之地，又像羊在剪毛的人手下无声，他也是这样不开口(赛53：7)。基督也为你们受过苦，给你们留下榜样，叫你们跟随他的脚踪行。他并没有犯罪，口里也没有诡诈。他被骂不还口，受害不说威吓的话，只将自己交托那按公义审判人的主(彼前2：21-23)。
The fruit of the spirit is meekness. GAL. 5:22.
The meek … shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. — Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. — The ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, …is in the sight of God of great price. — Charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up.
Follow after meekness. — Take my yoke upon you and learn O me, for I am meek and lowly in heart. — He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb so he openeth not his mouth. — Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: who did no sin neither was guile found in his mouth: who, when he was reviled reviled not again, … but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously.

若有人要跟从我，就当舍己，天天背起他的十字架来跟从我(路9：23)。
荣耀、羞辱、恶名、美名(林后6：8)。凡立志在基督耶稣里敬虔度日的，也都要受逼迫(提后3：12)。十字架讨厌的地方(加5：11)。
我若仍旧讨人的喜欢，我就不是基督的仆人了(加1：10)。
你们若为基督的名受辱骂，便是有福的。你们中间却不可有人因为杀人、偷窃、作恶、好管闲事而受苦；若为作基督徒受苦，却不要羞耻，倒要因这名归荣耀给 神(彼前4：14-16)。你们蒙恩，不但得以信服基督，并要为他受苦(腓1：29)。一人既替众人死，众人就都死了；并且他替众人死，是叫那些活着的人不再为自己活，乃为替他们死而复活的主活(林后5：14，15)。我们若能忍耐，也必和他一同作王(提后2：12)。
If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. LUKE 9:23.
By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report. — All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. — The offence of the cross.
If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye: but let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. Unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake. — If one died for all, then were all dead: and that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto them-selves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. — If we suffer, we shall also reign with him.
