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;

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:

My dearly loved brothers, understand this: Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger,

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;

A truly wise person uses few words; a person with understanding is even tempered.

Watch your tongue and keep your mouth shut, and you will stay out of trouble.

Too much talk leads to sin. Be sensible and keep your mouth shut.

Spouting off before listening to the facts is both shameful and foolish.

People with understanding control their anger; a hot temper shows great foolishness.

Those who control their tongue will have a long life; opening your mouth can ruin everything.

And“ don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry,

Better to be patient than powerful; better to have self control than to conquer a city.

A hot tempered person starts fights; a cool tempered person stops them.

Finishing is better than starting. Patience is better than pride.Control your temper, for anger labels you a fool.

But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language.

As you enter the house of God, keep your ears open and your mouth shut. It is evil to make mindless offerings to God.Don’t make rash promises, and don’t be hasty in bringing matters before God. After all, God is in heaven, and you are here on earth. So let your words be few.Too much activity gives you restless dreams; too many words make you a fool.

Sensible people control their temper; they earn respect by overlooking wrongs.

Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior.

And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.

The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.

Short tempered people do foolish things, and schemers are hated.

But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell.

A person without self control is like a city with broken down walls.

The tongue of the wise makes knowledge appealing, but the mouth of a fool belches out foolishness.

Starting a quarrel is like opening a floodgate, so stop before a dispute breaks out.

“ And so, my children, listen to me, for all who follow my ways are joyful.Listen to my instruction and be wise. Don’t ignore it.Joyful are those who listen to me, watching for me daily at my gates, waiting for me outside my home!For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord.

Therefore, we never stop thanking God that when you received his message from us, you didn’t think of our words as mere human ideas. You accepted what we said as the very word of God— which, of course, it is. And this word continues to work in you who believe.

idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division,envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

But they could think of nothing, because all the people hung on every word he said.

So I sent for you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here, waiting before God to hear the message the Lord has given you.”

Hot tempered people must pay the penalty. If you rescue them once, you will have to do it again.

They refused to obey and did not remember the miracles you had done for them. Instead, they became stubborn and appointed a leader to take them back to their slavery in Egypt. But you are a God of forgiveness, gracious and merciful, slow to become angry, and rich in unfailing love. You did not abandon them,

And the people of Berea were more open minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.

All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals( including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer.

If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless.

So I am writing to you not because you don’t know the truth but because you know the difference between truth and lies.

As Paul and Barnabas left the synagogue that day, the people begged them to speak about these things again the next week.Many Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, and the two men urged them to continue to rely on the grace of God.The following week almost the entire city turned out to hear them preach the word of the Lord.

Dear brothers and sisters, not many of you should become teachers in the church, for we who teach will be judged more strictly.Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way.

They remained standing in place for three hours while the Book of the Law of the Lord their God was read aloud to them. Then for three more hours they confessed their sins and worshiped the Lord their God.

So on October 8 Ezra the priest brought the Book of the Law before the assembly, which included the men and women and all the children old enough to understand.He faced the square just inside the Water Gate from early morning until noon and read aloud to everyone who could understand. All the people listened closely to the Book of the Law.

Since David himself called the Messiah‘ my Lord,’ how can the Messiah be his son?” The large crowd listened to him with great delight.

Ezra read from the Book of the Law of God on each of the seven days of the festival. Then on the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, as was required by law.

When the Gentiles heard this, they were very glad and thanked the Lord for his message; and all who were chosen for eternal life became believers.

Soon the house where he was staying was so packed with visitors that there was no more room, even outside the door. While he was preaching God’s word to them,

Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach.

So the people went away to eat and drink at a festive meal, to share gifts of food, and to celebrate with great joy because they had heard God’s words and understood them.On October 9 the family leaders of all the people, together with the priests and Levites, met with Ezra the scribe to go over the Law in greater detail.As they studied the Law, they discovered that the Lord had commanded through Moses that the Israelites should live in shelters during the festival to be held that month.
