谦让宜人 (Forbearance)

谦让宜人就是: Forbearance is:

柔和,却不软弱; Meek, but not weak;
坚毅,却不刚硬; Strong, but not stiff;
喜乐,却不轻浮; Joyful, but not loose;
庄重,却不刻板; Weighty, but not rigid;
恒忍,却不生怨; Long-suffering without murmuring;
负重,却不焦虑; Yoked without anxieties;
有能,却不骄傲; Capable without pride;
积极,却不心急; Active without haste;
宽容,却不纵容; Forgiving without spoiling;
建造人,却不控制; Building up others without controlling;
成全人,却不结党; Perfecting others without forming parties;
受限制,却不狭窄; Being limited without becoming narrow-minded;
灵火热,心思清明; Burning in spirit with a sober mind;
不偏不倚,各方均平。Adjusted and balanced in all manners of life.

谦让宜人就是神的自己显在人性里 (腓立比書四5)。
In fact, forbearance is God Himself expressed in humanity. (Phil. 4:5)
