Ephesians 4:26-27
“In your anger do not sin: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.”
Understanding this passage
Paul acknowledges anger itself is not always sin, but warns against letting it fester. Unresolved anger opens doorways to deeper harm.
Why this verse helps
Your anger can be named without being excused. Scripture gives a time boundary and warns against letting bitterness take root.
A prayer for you
Lord, help me handle my anger righteously. Do not let bitterness take root in me. Amen.
