Answered in 1 source

Ephesians 4:26 instructs believers to 'be angry and sin not,' emphasizing that there is a righteous anger aligned with God's glory.

Ephesians 4:26 commands believers to 'be angry and sin not,' highlighting that not all anger is sinful. This righteous anger is a result of being concerned for the honor and glory of God. The scripture teaches that there is an agitation within a believer's heart that reacts against disrespect towards God and His truth. For such anger to be righteous, it must stem from a new creation, where one's heart is transformed by the grace of God. Thus, it is not merely an emotional response but a disposition aligned with God's holiness.
