Bible verses about "shyness" | MNT

¹ Though I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have no love, I am become a clanging brass, or a clashing cymbal. ² Though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. ³ And though I sell all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it avails me nothing. ⁴ Love suffers long and is kind; love envies not; love makes no parade, is not puffed up, ⁵ is not rude, nor selfish, nor easily provoked. Love bears no malice, never rejoices over wrong-doing, ⁶ but rejoices when the truth rejoices. ⁷ It knows how to be silent, it is trustful, hopeful, patient, enduring. ⁸ Love never fails; but though there are prophecies, they will fail; though there are tongues, they will cease; though there is knowledge, it will be superseded. ⁹ For our knowing is imperfect, and our prophesying is imperfect; ¹⁰ but when the perfect is come, then the perfect will be done away. ¹¹ When I was a child I spoke like a child, felt like a child, thought like a child; now that I am become a man, I have done with childish things. ¹² For now we see as in a mirror, and are baffled, but then face to face; now I know in fragments, but then shall I understand even as I also have been understood. ¹³ Faith, Hope, Love endure—these three; but the greatest of these is Love.

¹⁵ But consecrate Christ in your hearts, as Lord. Be always in readiness to make and answer to any one who asks you a reason for the hope that is within you, yet with gentleness and reverence.

²² But the harvest-fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity, gentleness, and self-control; ²³ against such there is no law. ²⁴ And those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and appetites. ²⁵ If we are living by the Spirit, let us also keep step in the Spirit.

² Do not neglect to show hospitality; for by it some have even entertained angels unawares.

²² And become doers of the Word, and not merely hearers, deceiving yourselves.

⁶ Do not worry about anything; but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; ⁷ and the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will stand guard over your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. ⁸ Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if virtue is anything, if honor is anything, be always thinking about these. ⁹ Put in practise also what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me; and the God of peace shall be with you.

⁷ For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but a spirit of power and of love and of self-control.
