WHAT IS ANGER?
Annoyance, irritation, to be offended, resentment, rage, to be provoked, hot tempered or exasperated, sometimes with a view of taking revenge.
THE PROBLEM
Let all bitterness and indignation and wrath (passion, rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity) and quarreling (brawling, clamor, contention) and slander (evil-speaking, abusive or blasphemous language) be banished from you, with all malice (spite, ill will, or baseness of any kind).
Ephesians 4:31 AMPC
Do not be quick in spirit to be angry or vexed, for anger and vexation lodge in the bosom of fools. [James 1:19, 20.]Ecclesiastes 7:9 AMPC
A man of wrath stirs up strife, and a man given to anger commits and causes much transgression.
Proverbs 29:22 AMPC
THE PROMISES
Avoid acting on impulses and let the Spirit of the Lord lead you.
Peace, peace, to him who is far off [both Jew and Gentile] and to him who is near! says the Lord; I create the fruit of his lips, and I will heal him [make his lips blossom anew with speech in thankful praise]. [Acts 2:39; Eph. 2:13-17, 18; Heb. 13:15.]
Isaiah 57:19 AMPC
