This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
With all lowliness, or humility; submissiveness of mind, whereby we esteem others better than ourselves, Phi_2:3. A virtue peculiar to Christians, unknown to philosophers: see Act_20:19 Col_3:12,13.
And meekness; whereby we are not easily provoked, or offended with the infirmities of others: this is opposed to peevishness, as the former to pride.
With long-suffering; whereby we bear with greater or repeated injuries, 2Co_6:6.
Forbearing one another; or supporting, i.e. bearing with the infirmities, frowardness, or moroseness of others, so as not to cease to love them, and do them good.
In love; not out of any carnal affection, or for our own advantage, but out of love, which is wont to make men patient and long-suffering, 1Co_13:4.
