He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty…
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worked not the righteousness of God.
A soft answer turns away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. The tongue of the wise uses knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools pours out foolishness.
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil.
For, if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: If thy enemy shall hunger, give him bread to eat; and if he shall thirst, give him water to drink: For thou shall heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD will reward thee.
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place to wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, said the Lord. He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalted folly. Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger rested in the bosom of fools. And cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
