Proverbs 15:1 – A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
When someone says something wrong to you, do not go off on them. Instead, wither walk away or say something nice to them. That is how God wants us to be. He wants us to be kind to everyone. What good is our testimony if we lose our tempers and say things that don’t reflect Christ. So remember, if you can look at the person who is cussing and threating you and tell them that you love them, you are reflecting Christ.
