do not give [such] room (space, opportunity) to the devil. [Paul quotes from Ps. 4:5: "Be angry, do not sin; reflect in your hearts on your beds, and be still. Selah." The concluding Hebrew word Selah probably describes a pause, and if so, it illustrates in a practical way contemplation and reflection. Paul writes about the last part in slightly different words, but with the same meaning. There are three words for anger in Greek, and all are represented in this chapter: The Greek thumos describes a hot temper that boils over and is translated as "rage"; it is forbidden in verse 31. The second word is parorgismos and is translated as "bitterness," see verse 26b. It has to do with irritation and resentment. It is natural to feel this, but it is dangerous to harbor it in your heart for a long time. The anger we are encouraged to feel is orge, see verse 26a. The same word is also used in verse 31, where it is condemned if it occurs impulsively. Paul praises the Corinthians for feeling wrath toward sin and injustice, see 2 Cor. 7:11. Jesus felt wrath toward the Pharisees' silence and unwillingness to answer the question of whether it was permissible to do good on the Sabbath, see Mark 3:5. However, Jesus' anger is not uncontrolled. Only the day after he studied how people sold and bought in the temple did he act, see Mark 11:11, 12, 15. The use of the word "space" in verse 27 also refers to the beginning of Psalm 4: "When I am in distress, you give me space," see Ps. 4:1. To let anger take over and seek revenge is to give the devil room, instead of leaving room for God's punishment, see Rom. 12:19.]
