Proverbs 3

Do not let kindness and truth leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good repute [literally understanding; the idea is be held in high regard] in the sight of God and man. Proverbs 3:3-4

Kindness and truth balance each other. Kindness without truth is too soft without boundaries; truth without kindness is too hard and rigid.

Peace.
