Anger
Anger in Scripture appears both as righteous indignation against sin and injustice — God's wrath, Jesus in the Temple — and as an emotion that "slayeth the silly one" (Job 5:2). Paul tells believers to "be ye angry, and sin not" (Ephesians 4:26), guarding anger with speed, target, and duration. Scripture does not condemn anger as such but refuses to let it govern the day.
