Remember this, my dear friends! Everyone must be quick to listen, but slow to speak and slow to become angry. Human anger does not achieve God’s righteous purpose. (James 1:19-20)
Don’t give in to worry or anger;
it only leads to trouble.
(Psalm 37:8)
People with quick tempers cause a lot of quarreling and trouble. (Proverbs 29:22)
Keep your temper under control; it is foolish to harbor a grudge. (Ecclesiastes 7:9)
But now you must get rid of all these things: anger, passion, and hateful feelings. No insults or obscene talk must ever come from your lips. (Colossians 3:8)
If you become angry, do not let your anger lead you into sin, and do not stay angry all day. (Ephesians 4:26)
People with a hot temper do foolish things; wiser people remain calm. (Proverbs 14:17)
But I promise you that if you are angry with someone, you will have to stand trial. If you call someone a fool, you will be taken to court. And if you say that someone is worthless, you will be in danger of the fires of hell. (Matthew 5:22)
Get rid of all bitterness, passion, and anger. No more shouting or insults, no more hateful feelings of any sort. (Ephesians 4:31)
But keep away from foolish and ignorant arguments; you know that they end up in quarrels. As the Lord’s servant, you must not quarrel. You must be kind toward all, a good and patient teacher, who is gentle as you correct your opponents, for it may be that God will give them the opportunity to repent and come to know the truth. (2 Timothy 2:23-25)
