Follow Paul's example of kindness

Paul was a strong leader, but he was humble and gentle, full of kindness and grace.
He refused to say any harsh words to his brothers and sisters at the Corinthian church, even though they indeed had many problems. When he felt he could not control himself from rebuking them severely, he changed his plan of visiting them in person. Instead, he wrote them a letter, with a troubled heart and many tears in great anguish.
Love is patient and kind. It was the Godly love that Paul had toward the Corinthian people.
So follow Paul's example of kindness. Never speak harsh words to people. It is never legitimate.
Bible verse,
Now I call upon God as my witness that I am telling the truth. The reason I didn’t return to Corinth was to spare you from a severe rebuke. But that does not mean we want to dominate you by telling you how to put your faith into practice. We want to work together with you so you will be full of joy, for it is by your own faith that you stand firm. 2 Corinthians 1:23-24 NLT
