Being Upset

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

…and do not give the devil a foothold.

A fool vents all his anger, but a wise man holds it back.

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. …

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

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.”

If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.

Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen.

For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”
