Ephesians 4:26

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

Be ye angry {G3710}, and {G2532} sin {G264} not {G3361}: let {G1931} not {G3361} the sun {G2246} go down {G1931} upon {G1909} your {G5216} wrath {G3950}:

Be angry, but don’t sin — don’t let the sun go down before you have dealt with the cause of your anger;

“Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger,

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
