Ephesians 4:26–27
Be angry without sinning: do not let the sun set on your anger
Study it word by word26Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,
27nor give a place to the devil.
In its context
24and put on the new man who has been created according to God in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
25Therefore, having put off falsehood, speak truth, each one with his neighbor, because we are members of one another.
…
28Let the one who steals no longer steal, but rather let him labor, working with his own hands what is good, so that he may have something to share with the one who has need.
29Let no corrupt word come out of your mouth, but only whatever is good for building up according to the need, so that it may give grace to those who hear.
