Do not be agitated by evildoers; do not envy those who do wrong.
A tranquil heart is life to the body, but jealousy is rottenness to the bones.
A person with intense anger bears the penalty; if you rescue him, you’ll have to do it again.
Don’t let your spirit rush to be angry, for anger abides in the heart of fools.
But I tell you, everyone who is angry with his brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Whoever insults his brother or sister, will be subject to the court. Whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be subject to hellfire.
And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him.
For from within, out of people’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immoralities, thefts, murders,
adulteries, greed, evil actions, deceit, self-indulgence, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness.
All these evil things come from within and defile a person.”
They are filled with all unrighteousness, evil, greed, and wickedness. They are full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,
For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there is disorder and every evil practice.
Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all slander.
Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, moral impurity, promiscuity,
idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions,
Be angry and do not sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your anger,
Let all bitterness, anger and wrath, shouting and slander be removed from you, along with all malice.
But now, put away all the following: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and filthy language from your mouth.
