Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. (Col. 3:12‑13) |
To godliness, brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness, charity. (2 Peter 1:7) |
Lord, grant me the gift of forbearance, A merciful spirit I pray; That suffers the wrongs of another And seeks not the ill to repay. |
Lord, help me be kind and forgiving — I who Thy forgiveness have known So oft for my many transgressions; Grant me, Lord, a love like Thine own. |
