³² He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

²⁹ He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

¹⁸ A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.

¹¹ The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

¹⁹ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

²⁸ He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

²¹ Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

¹ Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

⁸ The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

²¹ To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
