¹⁹My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, ²⁰for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. ²¹Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

²⁵Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbour, for we are all members of one body. ²⁶"In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.

⁸I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing.
