'Kind' in the Bible

Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

For he looks at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

What good does it do, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith but does not prove it with actions? This kind of faith cannot save him, can it?

For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:

That kind of wisdom does not come from above. No, it is worldly, self-centered, and demonic.

For where envy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every kind of evil.

The wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceful, courteous, not self-willed, full of compassion and kind actions, free from favouritism and from all insincerity.
