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:

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.

He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.

Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.

He who answers before he hears, that is folly and shame to him.

He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a quick temper displays folly.

He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

“ Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath,

One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.

A wrathful man stirs up contention, but one who is slow to anger appeases strife.

Better is the end of a thing than its beginning. The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.Don’t be hasty in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools.

but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.

Guard your steps when you go to God’s house; for to draw near to listen is better than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they don’t know that they do evil.Don’t be rash with your mouth, and don’t let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.For as a dream comes with a multitude of cares, so a fool’s speech with a multitude of words.

The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit.

He who is quick to become angry will commit folly, and a crafty man is hated.

But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment. Whoever says to his brother,‘ Raca!’ will be in danger of the council. Whoever says,‘ You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.

Like a city that is broken down and without walls is a man whose spirit is without restraint.

The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of fools gush out folly.

The beginning of strife is like breaching a dam, therefore stop contention before quarreling breaks out.

“ Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways.Hear instruction, and be wise. Don’t refuse it.Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts.For whoever finds me, finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh.

For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, that when you received from us the word of the message of God, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also works in you who believe.

idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.

They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.

Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”

A hot- tempered man must pay the penalty, for if you rescue him, you must do it again.

and refused to obey. They weren’t mindful of your wonders that you did among them, but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage. But you are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and didn’t forsake them.

Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

They continued steadfastly in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and prayer.

If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.

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

So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.

Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.

They stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of Yahweh their God a fourth part of the day; and a fourth part they confessed, and worshiped Yahweh their God.

Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly, both men and women, and all who could hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month.He read from it before the wide place that was in front of the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those who could understand. The ears of all the people were attentive to the book of the law.

Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?” The common people heard him gladly.

Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. They kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.

As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed.

Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them.

Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.

All the people went their way to eat, to drink, to send portions, and to celebrate, because they had understood the words that were declared to them.On the second day, the heads of fathers’ households of all the people, the priests, and the Levites were gathered together to Ezra the scribe, to study the words of the law.They found written in the law how Yahweh had commanded by Moses that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month;
