anger

Human anger

Anger is an emotion of instant displeasure. Anger is part of our original human nature, just as LOVE is. It is not necessarily sinful. It becomes sinful when it rises without cause or is excessive or protracted.

Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger… —Ephesians 4:26 NASB

…put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth. —Col. 3:8 NASB

But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell. —Matthew 5:22 NASB

“Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.” —1 Peter 3:9

For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge. I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.” —Hebrews 10:30

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. —Romans 12:2
