"Being Beautiful In Spirit", by some, is and was considered the highest of "Knightly Virtues", and is said to be most akin to love for justice, neighbour and courage. This virtue is evidenced by hearing and obeying the Holy Spirit from a motivation of the highest love, the Love of God. A true knight who was beautiful in Spirit was said to have fire in his eyes, yet carried in his heart his one true spiritual love in a gentle way. This is seen by some as a weakness, but in the true Christian faith and the knightly code was considered more of a strength, much in the way a mother bear is strong against anyone who would dare get between her and her cubs.
There are some evident differences between "Being Beautiful In Spirit" and "Knightly Virtues".

  • First, the former is for all human beings, however, the latter is mostly for men, especislly kings, knights and worriers.
  • Second, the former is admitted to be based on the First Epistle of PETER, especially chapter 1, 3 and 5. The chapter 1 of the Epistle of JAMES and the chapter 3 of the First Epistle of JOHN have been also influencing true chrstian people to cultivate this moral sense. The latter, meanwhile, is admitted to be based on the DAVID's faith in The Book of Psalms, espescislly chapter 23, 24, 25, 26, 41, 45 and 62, and the story of "King Arthur and His Noble Knights".
  • Third, the former requires more sophiscated and more stronger spiritualism than the latter, because the former is one of completely personal virtues and the latter is one of the historical relationships among limited persons.
  • Forth, fhe former is possible to do everywhere forever, but the latter is only possible to see in books, plays, movies, games and so on.
  • Fifth, the former has nothing to do with any murder, however, the latter, after all, has to kill enemies or presents danger to be killed by enemies at least.
