Bible Verses about Anger

but love covers over all wrongs. - A gentle answer turns away wrath,

All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”

‘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.
