Gentle, yes - but NOT weak and wimpy:

In Matthew 5:5, the third of the Beatitudes uses the word “meek”. The Greek root word refers to those who are capable of whacking your head off in the blink of an eye, but keep their swords sheathed.

My dear brothers and sisters, may you retain your strength and power, but keep your swords in their scabbards.
