Proverbs - Chapter 15:1, 4 ( taken from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation ©. Copyright © 1996, by Tyndale Chariatable Trust)

1. A gentle answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stir up anger.
4. Gentle words bring life and health; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.

Ephesians - Chapter 4:26

26. And "don't sin by letting anger gain control over you." Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry,
27. for anger gives a mighty foothold to the Devil.

Second Timothy - Chapter 2:23 ( taken from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation ©. Copyright © 1996, by Tyndale Chariatable Trust)

23. Again I say, don't get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights.


James - Chapter 1:19,26

19. Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.
26. If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.
