Let Your Anger Be Removed, and Pray
12.1 For I am confident that you are well versed in the Scriptures, and nothing is hid from you; but to me this is not granted. Only, as it is said in these Scriptures, “be angry but do not sin,” 1 and “do not let the sun go down on your anger.” 2 Blessed is the one who remembers this, and I believe that it is so with you. 2 Now may God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the eternal Priest himself, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, build you up in faith and truth, and in all gentleness, and without wrath, and in patience, and in longsuffering, and endurance, and purity, and may he give you a share and place with his saints, and to us with you, and to all under heaven who shall believe in our Lord and God Jesus Christ and in his Father who raised him from the dead. 3 Pray for all the saints. 3 Pray also for the kings, and for magistrates, and princes, and for those who persecute you and hate you, 4 and for the enemies of the cross 5 that your fruit may be evident among all people, 6 that you may be perfected in him.
