Words on Anger: (Greek)
· A soft answer turns away wrath: but grievous words
stir up anger.
Pro 15:1
· Let not the sun go down on your wrath:
Eph 4:26
· He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding:
but he that is hasty of spirit exalts folly.
Pro 14:29
· He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty;
and he that rules his spirit than he that takes a city.

· The simple believes every word: but the prudent man
looks well to his going. A wise man fears, and departs from evil: but the
fool rages, and is confident.
· Pro 14:15-16
· Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself
in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that
wait on the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
Psa 37:8-9
· Why, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to
hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man works not the
righteousness of God.
James 1:19-20
· For if you forgive men their
trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if you forgive
not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Mat 6:14-15
· Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give
place to wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, said
the Lord. Therefore if your enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give
him drink: for in so doing you shall heap coals of fire on his head. Be
not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Rom 12:19-21
· Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor,
and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be you kind
one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's
sake has forgiven you.
Eph 4:31-32
· But now you also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice,
blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Col. 3:8-10
· Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious
man you shall not go: Lest you learn his ways, and get a snare to your
soul.
Pro. 22:24-25
· An angry man stirs up strife, and a furious man abounds
in transgression.
Pro. 29:22
· You have heard that it was said
of them of old time, You shall not kill; and whoever shall kill shall be
in danger of the judgment: But I say to you, That whoever is angry with
his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment:
Mat. 5:21-22
· Say not you, I will recompense evil; but wait on the
LORD, and he shall save you.
Pro. 20:22
· Speak not evil one of another, brothers. He that speaks
evil of his brother, and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law, and
judges the law: but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law,
but a judge. There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy:
who are you that judge another?
Jas. 4:11-12
· Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall
my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus
said to him, I say not to you, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times
seven.
Mat.18:21-22
· And when you stand praying, forgive,
if you have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven
may forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will
your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Mk. 11:25-26
· Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved,
bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering;
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel
against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do you.
Col. 3:12-13
· Finally, be you all of one mind, having compassion
one of another, love as brothers, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering
evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing
that you are thereunto called, that you should inherit a blessing. For
he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from
evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do
good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. For the eyes of the Lord are over
the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayers: but the face of
the Lord is against them that do evil.
1Pe. 3:8-12
