The concept of temper is closely linked to the virtues of patience, self-discipline, and the fruit of the Spirit. A well-tempered individual is one who exercises restraint and maintains a calm demeanor, even in challenging situations.<br><br><b>Biblical References and Teachings:</b><br><br>1. <b>Self-Control as a Fruit of the Spirit:</b> <br> The Bible emphasizes the importance of self-control, which is a key aspect of managing one's temper. In <a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22-23</a> , the Apostle Paul lists the fruit of the Spirit, which includes "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." Self-control is essential for maintaining a balanced temper and is a sign of spiritual maturity.<br><br>2. <b>Anger and Its Consequences:</b> <br> Scripture warns against the dangers of uncontrolled anger. In <a href="/ephesians/4-26.htm">Ephesians 4:26-27</a> , Paul advises, "Be angry, yet do not sin. Do not let the sun set upon your anger, and do not give the devil a foothold." This passage highlights the importance of resolving anger quickly and not allowing it to lead to sin.<br><br>3. <b>The Example of Jesus:</b> <br> Jesus Christ serves as the ultimate example of a well-tempered individual. Despite facing provocation and injustice, Jesus maintained His composure and responded with wisdom and grace. In <a href="/matthew/11-29.htm">Matthew 11:29</a> , Jesus invites us to "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."<br><br>4. <b>Proverbs on Temper:</b> <br> The Book of Proverbs offers practical wisdom on managing one's temper. <a href="/proverbs/14-29.htm">Proverbs 14:29</a> states, "A patient man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man promotes folly." This verse underscores the value of patience and the folly associated with a quick temper.<br><br>5. <b>James on Anger:</b> <br> The Epistle of James provides further insight into the relationship between anger and righteousness. <a href="/james/1-19.htm">James 1:19-20</a> advises, "My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for man's anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires." This passage encourages believers to prioritize listening and to be cautious with their words and emotions.<br><br><b>Practical Application:</b><br><br>Believers are encouraged to cultivate a temper that reflects the character of Christ. This involves regular prayer, meditation on Scripture, and reliance on the Holy Spirit to develop self-control and patience. By doing so, Christians can better navigate interpersonal relationships and serve as witnesses to the transformative power of the Gospel.<a name="top" id="top"></a><div class="vheading2">Topical Bible Verses</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/context/ephesians/4-31.htm">Ephesians 4:31-32</a></span><br>Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/ephesians/4-31.htm">Ephesians 4:31</a></span><br>Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/galatians/3-27.htm">Galatians 3:27</a></span><br>For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/colossians/3-8.htm">Colossians 3:8</a></span><br>But now you also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/proverbs/16-32.htm">Proverbs 16:32</a></span><br>He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that rules his spirit than he that takes a city.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/proverbs/29-11.htm">Proverbs 29:11</a></span><br>A fool utters all his mind: but a wise man keeps it in till afterwards.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/context/james/1-19.htm">James 1:19-20</a></span><br>Why, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/proverbs/15-1.htm">Proverbs 15:1</a></span><br>A soft answer turns away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/context/ephesians/4-26.htm">Ephesians 4:26-27</a></span><br>Be you angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down on your wrath:<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/ephesians/4-26.htm">Ephesians 4:26</a></span><br>Be you angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down on your wrath:<br><span class="source">Topicalbible.org</span><p><a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

In <a href="/ezekiel/46-14.htm">Ezekiel 46:14</a> for "temper" (racac) the Revised Version (British and American) substitutes "moisten." In So (5:2) a noun from the same stem means "dew-drops." In <a href="/exodus/29-2.htm">Exodus 29:2</a> the King James Version we read "cakes unleavened, tempered (balal, literally, "mixed") with oil," the Revised Version (British and American) "mingled." The word denotes "rough-and-ready mixing." In the recipe for the making of incense given in Exodus (30:35) occur the words "tempered together," malach (literally, "salted"; hence, the Revised Version (British and American) "seasoned with salt"). The word occurs in two interesting connections in The Wisdom of Solomon 15:7 (the Revised Version (British and American) "knead") and 16:21. In <a href="/1_corinthians/12-24.htm">1 Corinthians 12:24</a> it occurs in English Versions of the Bible as a rendering of the Greek word sugqerannumi, which meant to "mix together." Paul is arguing in favor of the unity of the church and of cooperation on the part of individual members, and uses as an illustration the human body which consists of various organs with various functions. It is God, argues the apostle, who has "tempered," "compounded" or "blended," the body. Each member has its place and function and must contribute to the welfare of the whole frame. The same Greek word occurs in <a href="/hebrews/4-2.htm">Hebrews 4:2</a>. The author urges the necessity of faith in regard to the gospel. The unbelieving Israelites had derived no benefit from their hearing of the gospel because their hearing of it was not "mixed" with faith.<br><br>T.
