Bible Verses About Kindness

Kindness is one of the most visible expressions of faith. Across both the Old and New Testaments, scripture returns again and again to this simple, powerful truth: how we treat others is how we live our faith. These verses are a gentle reminder that kindness isn't weakness — it's strength in action.

Ephesians 4:32
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Kindness and forgiveness are woven together here — one rarely exists without the other.

Proverbs 19:22
The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar.

What defines a person is their kindness — not their status or wealth.

Micah 6:8
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Three requirements. Mercy — the close companion of kindness — is right at the center.

Luke 6:35
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest.

Kindness extended even to those who have wronged us is the most radical expression of faith.

Proverbs 3:3-4
Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: so shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

Kindness written on the heart becomes a habit, then a character, then a life.
