Refrain from anger

A man's discretion makes him slow to anger, And it is his glory to overlook a transgression.
Proverbs 19:11

Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult.
Proverbs 12:16

Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back. 
Proverbs 29:11

Whoever controls his temper is better than a warrior, and anyone who has control of his spirit is better than someone who captures a city. 
Proverbs 16:32

Hatred stirs up quarrels, but love makes up for all offenses.
Proverbs 10:12

Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.
Proverbs 14:29

A gentle response diverts anger, but a harsh statement incites fury.
Proverbs 15:1

"In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil an opportunity to work. Ephesians 4:26,27


Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Cast Your Cares on Him
Young men, in the same way, submit yourselves to your elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,

“God opposes the proud,
but gives grace to the humble.”

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you. Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.

My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and every expression of evil, and humbly receive the word planted in you, which can save your souls.

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.


Refrain from anger and give up your rage; do not be agitated--it can only bring harm.
Psalm 37:8
