In the context of the New Testament, gentleness is not weakness but rather strength under control. It is the quality of being kind, tender, and humble, even in the face of provocation. Historically, this virtue was often undervalued in Greco-Roman culture, which prized power and dominance. However, in the Christian context, gentleness is a reflection of Christ's own character, as seen in Matthew 11:29, where Jesus describes Himself as "gentle and humble in heart." This virtue is essential for maintaining unity and peace within the body of Christ, as it allows believers to interact with one another in love and patience. self-control Against such things there is no law Against such--i.e., "against such things;" not, as it was understood by many of the older commentators, "against such men."

It may, however, stand in antithesis to self-reliant arrogance in general. Temperance (ἀγκράτεια); or, self-control. This stands opposed both to the "fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,' ' and to the "drunkenness and revellings "before mentioned. Against such there is no Law (κατὰ τῶν τοιούτων οὐκ ἔστι νόμος); against such things as these the Law is not; or, there is no Law. As the apostle does not write "against these things," it seems that he viewed the foregoing list of graces as one of samples only and not as exhaustive; which fact is likewise indicated by the absence of the copulative conjunction (cf. Matthew 15:19); so that κατὰ τῶν, ' τοιούτων represents "and things the like to these; against which," etc. If we render, with the Authorized Version, "there is no Law," we must suppose still that the apostle means that the Law which all along he has been speaking of is in particular "not against them." "Against;" as in Galatians 3:21. The Law finds nothing to condemn in these things, and therefore no ground for condemning those who live in the practice of them; the same idea as is more explicitly brought out in Romans 8:1-4.
