5 Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity. (Ephesians 4:26–27). Go ahead and be angry.

And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment.
