Gentleness
Be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear (1P 3.15).
Here the KJV uses the word meekness. Outside of Christian circles, influenced by the biblical language, our culture doesn’t use the word much. When we hear it, some are inclined to think of Casper Milquetoast, or a hen-pecked husband, or the guy the bullies kick sand on at the beach.
