James 1:19KING JAMES VERSION
Thoughtfully selected passages for this season.
A MOMENT TO REFLECT
Anger may point to hurt or injustice, but our response can also harm others. These passages invite listening, restraint, and careful speech. Take time to cool down and seek help when needed; a gentle response does not mean accepting mistreatment.
READ, REFLECT, RETURN
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards.
But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
