Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers!
A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot.
A man of great wrath will pay the penalty, for if you deliver him, you will only have to do it again.
Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart of fools.
But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire.
And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him.
For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery,
coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness.
All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips,
For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.
So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,
idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions,
Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.
But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.
