James 1:19      James 1:21

James 1:20

for a person's anger accomplishes nothing that is righteous (right) before God [it does not lead to a character characterized by the righteousness that comes from God].
[Anger (Gk. orge) comes from the verb orgao – "to swell/bulge" (from an inherent drive or passion), denotes a seething anger, determined rage, and indignation, and is often used to refer to God's controlled anger and justified resistance, see John 3:36; Rom. 1:18; Rev 19:15. Paul urges us to be angry about the right things, see Eph. 4:26, but not to curse people, see James 3:9; Col. 3:8; Prov 29:11; Rom. 12:19–21.]
