Ephesians 4:32
Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.
The Greek word is chrestos. (Strong's 5543)
Fit- fit for use, useful, virtuous, good.
Manageable-mild, pleasant (as opp. to harsh, hard, sharp, bitter). of things: more pleasant, of people: kind, benevolent.
To be fit for God's use, to be virtuous, and good in His hand, we must be kind. We should be manageable by Him. We must be kind; mild, pleasant and benevolent toward people. Not harsh, sharp or bitter.
It sounds a bit old fashioned and un-American, but I think it’s time to seriously reconsider kindness as a lifestyle. To be vessels made useful.
