The Virtue of Kindness

In this lesson we will define Kindness this way:

Kindness is helping other people and being nice to them.  When I am kind, I do things for others without expecting to get anything in return except perhaps a word of thanks.  A little kindness can go a long way to help someone else feel better.  Kindness is also very contagious!! .

Therefore, clothe yourselves like the elect of God: holy and beloved, with hearts of mercy, kindness, humility, modesty, and patience. -Colossians 3:12

The lips of the foolish meddle in disputes. And his mouth provokes conflicts.  The mouth of the foolish is his destruction, and his own lips are the ruin of his soul.

See to it that no one repays evil for evil to anyone. Instead, always pursue whatever is good, with one another and with all.
