Merkitys

See definition for πραοτης 4236

See definition for επιεικεια 1932

Both words may be translated gentleness, yet there are marked

differences in meaning. πραοτης is rather passive, denoting, as

has been said above (see Humility, Gentleness), one's attitude toward

others in view of their acts, bad or good.

επιεικεια is distinctly active, it is seen in one's deeds toward

others, and it usually implies the relation of superior to inferior.

It is fundamentally a relaxing of strict legal requirements concerning

others, yet doing this in order more fully to carry out the real

spirit of the law. It is clemency in which there is no element of

weakness or injustice.
