5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.
6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.
7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;
fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,
over the man who carries out evil devices!
8 Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.
Psalm 37:5-8
26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,
27 and give no opportunity to the devil.
Ephesians 4:26-27
4 Be angry, and do not sin;
ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. Selah
7 You have put more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and wine abound.
8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
Psalm 4:4, 7-8
19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this:
Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,
20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.
James 1:19-20
A fool gives full vent to anger, but the wise quietly holds it back.
Proverbs 29.11
The one who is slow to anger has great understanding,
but the one who has a quick temper exalts folly.
Proverbs 14.29
Do not say, “I will repay evil”; wait for the LORD, and he will help you.
Proverbs 20.22
18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God,
for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink;
for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 12:18-21
17 A man who is kind benefits himself, but a cruel man hurts himself.
Prov. 11.17
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
Philippians 4.5
1 What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you?
Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you?
2 You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain,
so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask.
3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.
James 4:1-3
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’
39 But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil.
But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.
41 And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
42 Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven.
For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good,
and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have?
Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others?
Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matthew 5:38-48
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,
20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions,
21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before,
that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.
Galatians 5:19-25
25 And whenever you stand praying, forgive,
if you have anything against anyone,
so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
Mark 11.25
22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment;
whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council;
and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire.
23 So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember
that your brother has something against you,
24 leave your gift there before the altar and go.
First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
Matthew 5:22-24
21 Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” 22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.
Matthew 18:21
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Proverbs 15:1
16 The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult.
Proverbs 12.16
I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Ephesians 4:1-3
9 Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart of fools.
Ecclesiastes 7.9
15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God;
that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble,
and by it many become defiled.
Hebrews 12:15
