patient

man

than

a

strong

man

;

for

he

who

restrains

his

anger

is

better

than

he

who

taketh

a

city

.

”

Also

in

the

same

place

:

“

The

imprudent

man

declareth

his

anger

on

the

same

day

,

but

the

crafty

man

hideth

away

his

dishonour

.

”

Of

this

same

thing

to

the

Ephesians

:

“

Be

ye

angry

,

and

sin

not

.

Let

not

the

sun

set

upon

your

wrath

.

”

Also

in

the

Gospel

according

to

Matthew

:

“

Ye

have

heard

that

it

was

said

by

the

ancients

,

Thou

shalt

not

kill

;

and

whoever

shall

kill

shall

be

guilty

of

the

judgment

.

But

I

say

unto

you

,

That

every

one

who

is

angry

with

his

brother

without

cause

shall

be

guilty

of

the

judgment

.
