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:

So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

The truly wise person restrains his words, and the one who stays calm is discerning.

The one who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his life from troubles.

When words abound, transgression is inevitable, but the one who restrains his words is wise.

The one who gives an answer before he listens– that is his folly and his shame.

The one who is slow to anger has great understanding, but the one who has a quick temper exalts folly.

The one who guards his words guards his life, but whoever is talkative will come to ruin.

Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on the cause of your anger.

Better to be slow to anger than to be a mighty warrior, and one who controls his temper is better than one who captures a city.

A quick-tempered person stirs up dissension, but one who is slow to anger calms a quarrel.

The end of a matter is better than its beginning; likewise, patience is better than pride.Do not let yourself be quickly provoked, for anger resides in the lap of fools.

But now, put off all such things as anger, rage, malice, slander, abusive language from your mouth.

Be careful what you do when you go to the temple of God; draw near to listen rather than to offer a sacrifice like fools, for they do not realize that they are doing wrong.Do not be rash with your mouth or hasty in your heart to bring up a matter before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth! Therefore, let your words be few.Just as dreams come when there are many cares, so the rash vow of a fool occurs when there are many words.

A person’s wisdom makes him slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

You must put away every kind of bitterness, anger, wrath, quarreling, and evil, slanderous talk.

Let the peace of Christ be in control in your heart( for you were in fact called as one body to this peace), and be thankful.

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

A person who has a quick temper does foolish things, and a person with crafty schemes is hated.

But I say to you that anyone who is angry with a brother will be subjected to judgment. And whoever insults a brother will be brought before the council, and whoever says‘ Fool’ will be sent to fiery hell.

Like a city that is broken down and without a wall, so is a person who cannot control his temper.

The tongue of the wise treats knowledge correctly, but the mouth of the fool spouts out folly.

Starting a quarrel is like letting out water; stop it before strife breaks out!

“ So now, children, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways.Listen to my instruction so that you may be wise, and do not neglect it.Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching at my doors day by day, waiting beside my doorway.For the one who finds me finds life and receives favor from the LORD.

And so we too constantly thank God that when you received God’s message that you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human message, but as it truly is, God’s message, which is at work among you who believe.

idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish rivalries, dissensions, factions,envying, murder, drunkenness, carousing, and similar things. I am warning you, as I had warned you before: Those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God!

but they could not find a way to do it, for all the people hung on his words.

Therefore I sent for you at once, and you were kind enough to come. So now we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to say to us.”

A person with great anger bears the penalty, but if you deliver him from it once, you will have to do it again.

They refused to obey and did not recall your miracles that you had performed among them. Instead, they rebelled and appointed a leader to return to their bondage in Egypt. But you are a God of forgiveness, merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and unfailing in your loyal love. You did not abandon them,

These Jews were more open- minded than those in Thessalonica, for they eagerly received the message, examining the scriptures carefully every day to see if these things were so.

They were devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

If someone thinks he is religious yet does not bridle his tongue, and so deceives his heart, his religion is futile.

I have not written to you that you do not know the truth, but that you do know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

As Paul and Barnabas were going out, the people were urging them to speak about these things on the next Sabbath.When the meeting of the synagogue had broken up, many of the Jews and God- fearing proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who were speaking with them and were persuading them to continue in the grace of God.On the next Sabbath almost the whole city assembled together to hear the word of the Lord.

Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters, because you know that we will be judged more strictly.For we all stumble in many ways. If someone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect individual, able to control the entire body as well.

For one-fourth of the day they stood in their place and read from the book of the law of the LORD their God, and for another fourth they were confessing their sins and worshiping the LORD their God.

So Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly which included men and women and all those able to understand what they heard.( This happened on the first day of the seventh month.)So he read it before the plaza in front of the Water Gate from dawn till noon before the men and women and those children who could understand. All the people were eager to hear the book of the law.

If David himself calls him‘ Lord,’ how can he be his son?” And the large crowd was listening to him with delight.

Ezra read in the book of the law of God day by day, from the first day to the last. They observed the festival for seven days, and on the eighth day they held an assembly as was required.

When the Gentiles heard this, they began to rejoice and praise the word of the Lord, and all who had been appointed for eternal life believed.

So many gathered that there was no longer any room, not even by the door, and he preached the word to them.

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

So all the people departed to eat and drink and to share their food with others and to enjoy tremendous joy, for they had gained insight in the matters that had been made known to them.On the second day of the month the family leaders met with Ezra the scribe, together with all the people, the priests, and the Levites, to consider the words of the law.They discovered written in the law that the LORD had commanded through Moses that the Israelites should live in temporary shelters during the festival of the seventh month,
