Anger definition and references: The emotion of instant displeasure on account of something evil that presents itself to our view. In itself it is an original susceptibility of our nature, just as love is, and is not necessarily sinful. It may, however, become sinful when causeless, or excessive, or protracted (Matthew 5:22; Ephesians 4:26; Colossians 3:8). As ascribed to God, it merely denotes his displeasure with sin and with sinners (Psalms 7:11).

Anger refers to:—In OT ‘anger’ represents about a dozen Heb. roots, which occur as nouns, vbs. (once ‘angered’ is used transitively, Psalms 106:32 ), and adjs. By far the most frequent words are anaph (lit. ‘to snort’) and its deriv. noun aph , which is used of the anger both of men ( Genesis 27:45; Genesis 30:2 , Exodus 11:8; Exodus 32:19; etc.) and God ( Exodus 4:14; Exodus 32:22 , Psalms 6:1; Psalms 7:6 etc.). In NT ‘anger’ is of much less frequent occurrence, and represents only 2 roots: (1) the noun orgç (wh., however, is usually tr. [Note: translate or translation.] ‘wrath’), the vb. orgizomai , the adj. orgÄ­los (only in Titus 1:7 ), and the trans. vb. parorgizo ( Romans 10:19 , the only case of a trans, use of ‘anger’ in NT); (2) the vb. cholao (lit. ‘to be full of bile,’ fr. cholç , ‘bile’), used only in John 7:23 to express the bitter anger of ‘the Jews’ against Jesus. With regard to the distinction between orgç and the synon. thumos , it is to be noted that while orgç is very often tr. [Note: translate or translation.] ‘wrath,’ thumos is never tr. [Note: translate or translation.] ‘anger,’ and when the two words occur together, thumos in each case is ‘wrath’ ( Romans 2:8 , Ephesians 4:31 , Colossians 3:8 ) and orgç ‘anger’ ( Ephesians 4:31 , Colossians 3:8 ) or ‘indignation’ ( Romans 2:8 ).
