A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

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

Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
