³² He who is slow to be angry is better than a man of war, and he who has control over his spirit than he who takes a town.

²⁹ He who is slow to be angry has great good sense; but he whose spirit is over-quick gives support to what is foolish.

¹⁸ An angry man makes men come to blows, but he who is slow to get angry puts an end to fighting.

¹¹ A man's good sense makes him slow to wrath, and the overlooking of wrongdoing is his glory.

¹⁹ You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;

²⁸ He whose spirit is uncontrolled is like an unwalled town which has been broken into.

²¹ Do not let evil overcome you, but overcome evil by good.

¹ Let it then be your desire to be like God, as well-loved children;

⁸ The Lord is kind and full of pity, not quickly made angry, but ever ready to have mercy.

²¹ To him who overcomes I will give a place with me on my high seat, even as I overcame, and am seated with my Father on his high seat.
