My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,

My dear brothers and sisters, pay attention to what I say. Everyone should be quick to listen. But they should be slow to speak. They should be slow to get angry.

Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;

Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.

My dear brothers and sisters, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,

You know this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Now everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

Ye know this, my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

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

Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters! Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.

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

The intelligent person restrains his words, and one who keeps a cool head is a man of understanding.

The one who guards his mouth and tongue keeps himself out of trouble.

When there are many words, sin is unavoidable, but the one who controls his lips is wise.

The one who gives an answer before he listens— this is foolishness and disgrace for him.

A patient person shows great understanding, but a quick-tempered one promotes foolishness.

The one who guards his mouth protects his life; the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin.

Be angry and do not sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your anger,

Patience is better than power, and controlling one’s temper, than capturing a city.

A hot-tempered man stirs up conflict, but a man slow to anger calms strife.

The end of a matter is better than its beginning; a patient spirit is better than a proud spirit.Don’t let your spirit rush to be angry, for anger abides in the heart of fools.

But now you must also put away all the following: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and filthy language from your mouth.

Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Better to draw near in obedience than to offer the sacrifice as fools do, for they ignorantly do wrong.Do not be hasty to speak, and do not be impulsive to make a speech before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.For dreams result from much work and a fool’s voice from many words.

A person’s insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense.

All bitterness, anger and wrath, shouting and slander must be removed from you, along with all malice.

And let the peace of the Messiah, to which you were also called in one body, control your hearts. Be thankful.

Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, and a man who schemes is hated.

But I tell you, everyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. And whoever says to his brother,‘ Fool!’ will be subject to the Sanhedrin. But whoever says,‘ You moron!’ will be subject to hellfire.

A man who does not control his temper is like a city whose wall is broken down.

The tongue of the wise makes knowledge attractive, but the mouth of fools blurts out foolishness.

To start a conflict is to release a flood; stop the dispute before it breaks out.

“ And now, my sons, listen to me; those who keep my ways are happy.Listen to instruction and be wise; don’t ignore it.Anyone who listens to me is happy, watching at my doors every day, waiting by the posts of my doorway.For the one who finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord,

This is why we constantly thank God, because when you received the message about God that you heard from us, you welcomed it not as a human message, but as it truly is, the message of God, which also works effectively in you believers.

idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions,envy, drunkenness, carousing, and anything similar. I tell you about these things in advance— as I told you before— that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

but they could not find a way to do it, because all the people were captivated by what they heard.

Therefore I immediately sent for you, and you did the right thing in coming. So we are all present before God, to hear everything you have been commanded by the Lord.”

A person with great anger bears the penalty; if you rescue him, you’ll have to do it again.

They refused to listen and did not remember Your wonders You performed among them. They became stiff-necked and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But You are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in faithful love, and You did not abandon them.

The people here were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, since they welcomed the message with eagerness and examined the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.

And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to the prayers.

If anyone thinks he is religious without controlling his tongue, then his religion is useless and he deceives himself.

I have not written to you because you don’t know the truth, but because you do know it, and because no lie comes from the truth.

As they were leaving, the people begged that these matters be presented to them the following Sabbath.After the synagogue had been dismissed, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who were speaking with them and persuading them to continue in the grace of God.The following Sabbath almost the whole town assembled to hear the message of the Lord.

Not many should become teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive a stricter judgment,for we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a mature man who is also able to control his whole body.

While they stood in their places, they read from the book of the law of the Lord their God for a fourth of the day and spent another fourth of the day in confession and worship of the Lord their God.

On the first day of the seventh month, Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly of men, women, and all who could listen with understanding.While he was facing the square in front of the Water Gate, he read out of it from daybreak until noon before the men, the women, and those who could understand. All the people listened attentively to the book of the law.

David himself calls Him‘ Lord’; how then can the Messiah be his Son?” And the large crowd was listening to Him with delight.

Ezra read out of the book of the law of God every day, from the first day to the last. The Israelites celebrated the festival for seven days, and on the eighth day there was an assembly, according to the ordinance.

When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the message of the Lord, and all who had been appointed to eternal life believed.

So many people gathered together that there was no more room, not even in the doorway, and He was speaking the message to them.

All the tax collectors and sinners were approaching to listen to Him.

Then all the people began to eat and drink, send portions, and have a great celebration, because they had understood the words that were explained to them.On the second day, the family leaders of all the people, along with the priests and Levites, assembled before Ezra the scribe to study the words of the law.They found written in the law how the Lord had commanded through Moses that the Israelites should dwell in booths during the festival of the seventh month.
