19 Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; 20 for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. 21 Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
3 Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life;
he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
1 A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
20 Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
9 Be not quick in your spirit to become angry,
for anger lodges in the heart of fools.
16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
9 He who has ears, let him hear.”
17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
28 Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;
when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.
20 Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
1 Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.
26 If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless.
1 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. 3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. 5 As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
29 Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding,
but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.
7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”
10 as it is written:
“None is righteous, no, not one;
11 no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.”
16 Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth?
1 Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin!
21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
