8. That anger must be overcome,
lest it constrain us to sin.
In Solomon in the Proverbs: “Better is
a patient man than a strong man; for he who restrains his anger is
better than he who taketh a city.”4227 Also in the same place:
“The imprudent man declareth his anger on the same day, but the
crafty man hideth away his dishonour.”4228 Of this same thing to the
Ephesians: “Be ye angry, and sin not. Let not the sun
set upon your wrath.”4229 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.”4230
