James 1:19

¹⁹So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

¹⁹Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

¹⁹^[+] My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,

¹⁹^[+] Remember this, my dear friends: everyone should be quick to listen but slow to speak, and slow to get angry,

²⁷He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.

²³Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

²⁹He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a quick temper displays folly.

¹⁹In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.

¹³He who answers before he hears, that is folly and shame to him.

²⁶“Be angry, and don’t sin.”t let the sun go down on your wrath,

³He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

³²One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.

⁸Better is the end of a thing than its beginning. The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

⁹Don’t be hasty in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools.

¹⁸A wrathful man stirs up contention, but one who is slow to anger appeases strife.
