wrath

⁸Cease from wrath and leave behind rage. Do not choose to imitate the malicious.

¹⁹Do not defend yourselves, dearest ones. Instead, step aside from wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is mine. I shall give retribution, says the Lord.”

²⁰For the anger of man does not accomplish the justice of God.

¹A mild response shatters anger. But a harsh word stirs up fury.

²⁶“Be angry, but do not be willing to sin.” Do not let the sun set over your anger. ²⁷Provide no place for the devil.

⁹For God has not appointed us for wrath, but for the acquisition of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁷And I will execute great vengeance against them, reproving them in fury. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will send my vengeance upon them.”

⁴For he is a minister of God for you unto good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid. For it is not without reason that he carries a sword. For he is a minister of God; an avenger to execute wrath upon whomever does evil.

⁵But in accord with your hard and impenitent heart, you store up wrath for yourself, unto the day of wrath and of revelation by the just judgment of God.

⁸But now you must set aside all these things: anger, indignation, malice, blasphemy, and indecent speech from your mouth.

⁵²Then Jesus said to him: “Put your sword back in its place. For all who take up the sword shall perish by the sword. ⁵³Or do you think that I cannot ask my Father, so that he would give me, even now, more than twelve legions of Angels? ⁵⁴How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must be so?”

¹⁸Fear is not in love. Instead, perfect love casts out fear, for fear pertains to punishment. And whoever fears is not perfected in love.

³¹Let all bitterness and anger and indignation and outcry and blasphemy be taken away from you, along with all malice.

¹⁸For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven over every impiety and injustice among those men who fend off the truth of God with injustice.

¹“So then, if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, so as to keep and do all of his commandments, which I instruct to you this day, the Lord your God will cause you to be more exalted than all the nations which exist upon the earth. ²And all these blessings shall come to you and take hold of you, but only if you listen to his precepts. ³Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed in the field. ⁴Blessed shall be the fruit of your loins, and the fruit of your land, and the fruit of your cattle, the droves of your herds, and the folds of your sheep. ⁵Blessed shall be your barns, and blessed your storehouses. ⁶Blessed shall you be entering and departing.

²⁶The just falling down before the impious is like a fountain stirred up by feet and like a corrupted spring.
