What does the Bible say about angry?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that anger must be governed by faith, love, and self-control, for human anger so easily becomes sinful and fails to produce God’s righteousness. Ephesians 4:26-27 allows that anger may arise without sin, yet commands believers not to cherish it or give the devil an opportunity. James 1:19-20 calls Christians to be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger. Proverbs repeatedly commends patience, gentle answers, and restraint, while warning that hot tempers reveal folly and stir up conflict. Psalm 37:8 urges us to forsake wrath. In Christ, believers are called to forgive, entrust judgment to God, and pursue peace.
