GROW

2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Ecclesiastes 4:1 So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side {side: Heb. hand} of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.

John 14:15 to 17 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Numbers 12:3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)

Psalm 37:11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

Zephaniah 2:3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD^s anger.

Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Matthew 11:28 to 30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew 21:5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

1 Thessalonians 2:7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:

2 Timothy 2:24 to 26 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient {patient: or, forbearing}, 25In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

Titus 3:2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

James 3:13 to 18 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 14But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual {sensual: or, natural}, devilish. 16For where envying and strife is, there is confusion {confusion: Gr. tumult, unquietness} and every evil work. 17But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality {partiality: or, wrangling}, and without hypocrisy. 18And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Philippians 2:14 to 16 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15That ye may be blameless and harmless {harmless: or, sincere}, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 16Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

1 Peter 2:18 to 20 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward (perverse). 19For this is thankworthy {thankworthy: or, thank}, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 20For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted (clouted) for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable {acceptable: or, thank} with God.

1 Corinthians 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast {the feast: or, holyday}, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
1 Corinthians 14:20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men {men: Gr. perfect, or, of a ripe age}.

Ephesians 4:31 to 32 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ^s sake hath forgiven you.

Colossians 3:8 to 13 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
12Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel {quarrel: or, complaint} against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

Titus 3:1 to 7 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, 2To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. 3For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4But after that the kindness and love {love: or, pity} of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6Which he shed on us abundantly {abundantly: Gr. richly} through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

1 Peter 2:1 to 4 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 2As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 3If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 4To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

1 Corinthians 5:6 to 8 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
7Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed {or, is slain} for us: 8Therefore let us keep the feast {or, holyday}, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
