Bible Verses about Anger
- “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.

but love covers over all wrongs. - A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger. - My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.

but one who is quick-tempered displays folly. - He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them.

All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”
- Fools give full vent to their rage,
but the wise bring calm in the end. - Fools show their annoyance at once,

- ‘Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the Lord,
‘I will frown on you no longer,
for I am faithful,’ declares the Lord,
‘I will not be angry forever.’ - The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
- Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.
