Song of Solomon

1 Peter 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving
honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace
of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
8. Parents are not to provoke their children.
Colossians 3:21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
9. Employers are to treat their employees fairly and not provoke them.
Ephesians 6:9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening:
knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
10. Christians are not to provoke one another to anger through competition. Gal 5:26 Let us not
be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
11. Anger expresses itself in inappropriate actions or words.
Physical violence
Libel, which is writing something down which is not true with the intent to hurt
someone's livelihood or reputation
Slander, which is unspoken truth or embellishment of the reason for one's anger
Maligning or taking the opportunity to let many others know what has been said or done
Railing (venting)
12. In the life of the believer illegitimate anger is to be put away.
Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking,
be put away from you, with all malice:
13. One reason Christians should seek to put away anger is a desire to reflect the divine attribute
of patience and grace.
Psalms 103:8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in
mercy.
14. A person who is patient with others can make strife to cease.
Proverbs 15:18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth
strife.
