So the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen?

The Lord is gracious and full of compassion,Slow to anger and great in mercy.

For wrath kills a foolish man,And envy slays a simple one.

So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

nor give place to the devil.

A soft answer turns away wrath,But a harsh word stirs up anger.

And He said, “What comes out of a man, that defiles a man.

Make no friendship with an angry man,And with a furious man do not go,

Wrath is cruel and anger a torrent,But who is able to stand before jealousy?

“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath,

So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath,

Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry,For anger rests in the bosom of fools.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;Do not fret—it only causes harm.

He who is slow to wrath has great understanding,But he who is impulsive exalts folly.

But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.

A soft answer turns away wrath,But a harsh word stirs up anger.

But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire.

A wrathful man stirs up strife,But he who is slow to anger allays contention.

A fool vents all his feelings,But a wise man holds them back.

The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger,And his glory is to overlook a transgression.

He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

An angry man stirs up strife,And a furious man abounds in transgression.

A quick-tempered man acts foolishly,And a man of wicked intentions is hated.

Make no friendship with an angry man,And with a furious man do not go,

“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,

The Lord is gracious and full of compassion,Slow to anger and great in mercy.

Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.
