Fits of Anger

The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; …

“Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger,

Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger settles in the lap of a fool.

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,

…for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.

But now you must put aside all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.

A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger calms dispute.

He who is slow to anger is better than a warrior, and he who controls his temper is greater than one who captures a city.
