The Holy Bible
Anger itself isn't sin — but Scripture warns how quickly it becomes one. These Bible verses about anger teach slow tempers, soft answers, and sunsets that don't find us still furious.
““Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, and don’t give place to the devil.”
“So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.”
“A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
“A fool vents all of his anger, but a wise man brings himself under control.”
“Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Don’t fret, it leads only to evildoing.”
“Don’t be hasty in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools.”
“One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.”
“but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.”
“He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a quick temper displays folly.”
“Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.””
“The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.”
“But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment; and whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ will be in danger of the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.”
