34. Meekness. Quietness

The words πρᾶος (πραὔς) and πρᾳότης (πραὔτης), always rendered ‘meek' and ‘meekness,' is a characteristic of those who inherit the earth, Matt. 5:55Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. (Matthew 5:5); and, part of the fruit of the Spirit in the Christian, Gal. 5:2323Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:23) ― it is seen in its perfection in the blessed Lord in the place He took as man. Matt. 11:2929Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. (Matthew 11:29); 2 Cor. 10:11Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you: (2 Corinthians 10:1). It is the spirit and bearing of the pious in relation to men (Titus 3:22To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all men. (Titus 3:2)), as lowliness marks them in relation to God. It is in meekness that the engrafted word is received, Jas. 1:2121Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. (James 1:21) ― a contrast to the pride and wrath of man, ver. 20.
ἠσύχιος ‘quiet,' occurs with πραὔς in 1 Pet. 3:44But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. (1 Peter 3:4), to which the end of verse 6 may refer: it is translated 'peaceable' in 1 Tim. 2:22For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. (1 Timothy 2:2). From it comes ἠσυχία, expressing the general idea of ‘quietness,' as that which is enjoined upon the woman in verses 11, 12 of the same chapter (rather than ‘silence' A. V.) See also 2 Thess. 3:1212Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. (2 Thessalonians 3:12), where it is in contrast to officious meddling with other people's matters.
ἤρεμος (perhaps from ἥμερος, ‘gentle') is only found in 1 Tim. 2:22For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. (1 Timothy 2:2), 'quiet ' or ‘tranquil,'
