A Scriptural Perspective on Anger
Be angry and yet, do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity.
This you know, my beloved brethren but everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.
A fool always loses his temper, but a wise man holds it back.
A man's discretion makes him slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook a transgression.
Do not be eager in your heart to be angry, for anger resides in the bosom of fools.
A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but the slow to anger calms a dispute.
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth.
What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members? You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. You are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask.
A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, and a man of evil devices is hated.
He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city.
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.
Do not associate with a man given to anger; or go with a hot-tempered man.
A fool's anger is known at once, but a prudent man conceals dishonor.
Cease from anger and forsake wrath; do not fret; it leads only to evildoing. For evildoers will be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD, they will inherit the land.
An angry man stirs up strife, and a hot-tempered man abounds in transgression.
Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who is quick-tempered exalts folly.
Cease from anger and forsake wrath; do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.
He who restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations, knowing that they produce quarrels. The Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged.
Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart.
