Penitent Spirit

Isaiah 61:2 

To proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn,

James 4:9 

Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.

2 Corinthians 7:9-11 

9 yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us. 

10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. 

11 See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

Matthew 5:4 

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Committing Adultery

Matthew 15:19 

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.

Matthew 19:18 

“Which ones?” the man inquired. Jesus replied, “‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony,

Galatians 5:19 

The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;

Mild tempered, gentle Spirit

Matthew 5:5 

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

Matthew 11:29 

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Psalms 37:11 

But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.

1 Peter 3:4 

Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.
