G1932–ἐπιείκεια–epieikeia

But--not to detain you too long--I beg you in your forbearance to listen to a brief statement from us.

ἐπιεικείᾳ. epieikeia “kindness.”

But as for me Paul, I entreat you by the gentleness and self-forgetfulness of Christ--I who when among you have not an imposing personal presence, but when absent am fearlessly outspoken in dealing with you.

ἐπιεικείας epieikeias “gentleness”
