Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God. (James 1:19-20)
A gentle answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger. (Proverbs 15:1)
Do not be eager in your heart to be angry, For anger resides in the bosom of fools. (Ecclesiastes 7:9)
A man’s discretion makes him slow to anger; And it is his glory to overlook a transgression. (Proverbs 19:11)
Never pay back evil for evil to anyone .... If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. “But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” (Romans 12:17-20)
