Today we will be dealing with bible verses about kindness. Kindness, according to the dictionary, is the act of being considerate, generous, or friendly to another person. Often, we misconstrue kindness for helping people. Helping people doesn’t mean that you are friendly or you like people, but kindness will compel you to like people by putting their interest first before yours.
There has always been this argument when it comes to a topic like this one that who needs to show kindness and to whom do we show kindness? Every human created by God should be kind and show compassion for others. It doesn’t matter your religion, race, ethnic group, or skin color; HUMANITY should be all about showing kindness to one another.

God understands that the nature of man is filled with bitterness, anger, and evil that is why he admonished us to be kind to one another in the book of Ephesians 4:31-32 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. God compelled us to be kind unto one another.
Judging by this, we will not be making a mistake if we say that kindness is an adjunct of love because when you love someone, you will be kind to that person.
The stereotypical perception is that people should be kind and show love to their kinsman alone, but God wants us to be generous, friendly, and considerate to everyone and not just our friends alone. Only a little more heart of kindness would rescue the entire world from the present mess we have gotten ourselves into.
Meanwhile, we can still make amends, this article affords us the necessary bible verses that we need to understand what kindness is and how and who God wants us to show it to. Now let’s look at some bible verses about kindness
