Ephesians 4:26
““Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath,”
What does Ephesians 4:26 mean?
Anger itself isn't sinful, but what we do with it matters deeply. Paul is saying you can feel angry about genuine wrongs, yet still choose not to let that anger push you into hurtful words, revenge, or bitterness. The phrase about the sun going down is practical wisdom: don't let anger simmer overnight and harden into resentment. When possible, deal with conflict while you're still in conversation with the person, before defensiveness calcifies. This gives your anger a chance to move toward understanding or resolution instead of festering into something toxic that poisons your peace and your relationships.
