Meekness

a calm temper of mind, not easily provoked (James 3:13)

Special promises are made to the meek (Matt. 5:5; Isa. 66:2).

The cultivation of this spirit is enjoined (Col. 3:12; 1 Tim. 6:11; Zeph. 2:3), and is exemplified in:

• Christ (Matt. 11:29)
• Abraham (Gen. 13; 16:5, 6)
• Moses (Num. 12:3)
• David (Zech. 12:8; 2 Sam. 16:10, 12)
• Paul (1 Cor. 9:19)
