It is a quality that reflects the character of God and is encouraged among believers as they interact with one another and the world.<br><br><b>Biblical Foundation</b><br><br>The term "reasonable" is not frequently used in most English translations of the Bible, but the underlying principles are evident throughout Scripture. The Berean Standard Bible emphasizes the importance of reasonableness in the life of a believer, particularly in the context of wisdom and understanding.<br><br><b>Wisdom and Understanding</b><br><br><a href="/proverbs/2-9.htm">Proverbs 2:9-11</a> states, "Then you will discern righteousness and justice and equity—every good path. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will delight your soul. Discretion will watch over you, and understanding will guard you." Here, reasonableness is linked to the discernment of righteousness and justice, suggesting that a reasonable person is one who seeks to understand and apply God's wisdom in their life.<br><br><b>Gentleness and Reasonableness</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul encourages believers to exhibit a spirit of gentleness and reasonableness. <a href="/philippians/4-5.htm">Philippians 4:5</a> says, "Let your gentleness be apparent to all. The Lord is near." The Greek word translated as "gentleness" can also be understood as "reasonableness" or "moderation," indicating a balanced and fair approach in dealing with others.<br><br><b>Reason in Worship</b><br><br><a href="/romans/12.htm">Romans 12:1</a> provides insight into the concept of reasonableness in worship: "Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship." The phrase "spiritual service" can also be translated as "reasonable service," suggesting that true worship involves a rational and thoughtful response to God's mercy.<br><br><b>Reasonableness in Discourse</b><br><br>The Apostle Peter advises believers to be prepared to give a reasoned defense of their faith. <a href="/1_peter/3-15.htm">1 Peter 3:15</a> instructs, "But in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks you the reason for the hope that is in you. But respond with gentleness and respect." This passage highlights the importance of being reasonable and respectful in discussions about faith, ensuring that one's defense is both logical and compassionate.<br><br><b>Practical Application</b><br><br>In practical terms, being reasonable involves a commitment to truth, a willingness to listen, and an openness to dialogue. It requires humility and a recognition of one's own limitations, as well as a reliance on God's wisdom. <a href="/james/3-17.htm">James 3:17</a> describes the wisdom from above as "first of all pure, then peaceable, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere." Reasonableness, therefore, is a reflection of divine wisdom that seeks peace and understanding in all interactions.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The biblical call to be reasonable is a call to embody the wisdom and character of God in every aspect of life. It is an invitation to engage with others thoughtfully and respectfully, always seeking to reflect the love and truth of Christ.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

In the sense of "cause" or "occasion" it stands in <a href="/1_kings/9-15.htm">1 Kings 9:15</a> for dabhar, "a word" (the Revised Version margin "account"), but in most cases renders prepositional forms as "from," "with," "because of," "for the sake," etc. As the ground or argument for anything, it is the translation of ta`am (<a href="/proverbs/26-16.htm">Proverbs 26:16</a>, the Revised Version margin "answers discreetly"), of yakhach, as in <a href="/isaiah/1-18.htm">Isaiah 1:18</a>, "Come now, and let us reason together" (compare <a href="/job/13-3.htm">Job 13:3</a>; <a href="/job/15-3.htm">Job 15:3</a>); in <a href="/1_samuel/12-7.htm">1 Samuel 12:7</a>, the word is shaphaT, the Revised Version (British and American) "that I may plead," etc. The principal Greek words for "reason," "reasoning," are those given above. The Christian believer is to be ready to give a reason (logos) for the hope that is in him (<a href="/1_peter/3-15.htm">1 Peter 3:15</a> the King James Version). "Reason" as a human faculty or in the abstract sense appears in Apocrypha in The Wisdom of Solomon 17:12 (logismos); Ecclesiasticus 37:16, "Let reason (logos) go before every enterprise," the Revised Version (British and American) "be the beginning of every work." In <a href="/acts/18-14.htm">Acts 18:14</a>, "reason would" is literally, kata logon, "according to reason"; in <a href="/romans/12-1.htm">Romans 12:1</a>, for "reasonable (logikos) service," the Revised Version (British and American) has "spiritual," and in the margin "Greek `belonging to the reason.' " In the Revised Version (British and American) "reason," etc., occurs much oftener than in the King James Version (compare <a href="/leviticus/17-11.htm">Leviticus 17:11</a> <a href="/deuteronomy/28-47.htm">Deuteronomy 28:47</a> <a href="/judges/5-22.htm">Judges 5:22</a> <a href="/job/20-2.htm">Job 20:2</a>; <a href="/job/23-7.htm">Job 23:7</a>, etc.; <a href="/luke/3-15.htm">Luke 3:15</a>; <a href="/luke/12-17.htm">Luke 12:17</a> <a href="/acts/17-17.htm">Acts 17:17</a>, etc.).<br><br>W.
