Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins.

A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.

The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so quit before the quarrel breaks out.

He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry,
 For anger rests in the bosom of fools.

Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.

“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil.

So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
