21 Injingogja y munjayan masangane sija gui manmalofan na tiempo: Chamo famumuno, ya jayeja y mamuno, peligroña gui juisio.

22 Lao guajo sumangane jamyo na jayeja y lalalo ni cheluña, peligroña gui juisio, na jayeja y umalog ni cheluña, taetiningo jao, peligroña gui tribunal, lao jayeja y umalog bababa jao, peligroña gui guafen sasalaguan.

23 Yaguin unchule y ninaimo guato gui attat, ya ayo nae unjaso na guaja linachimo gui chelumo;

24 Polo güije y ninaimo gui menan y attat, ya unjanao finena ya inatungo yan y chelumo, ya ayo nae untalo guato ya unnaenñaejon y ninaimo.

25 Atungo yan y contrariumo enseguidas, mientros gaegue jamyo gui chalanmiyo, noseaja, y cotrariumo unenentrega gui jues, ya y jues unenentrega gui ofisiat ya unmapolo gui preso.

26 Magajet jusangane jamyo: Seguro na ti unjuyong güije, asta qui anapase y uttimo na coble.

Anger Management

In Matthew, Jesus teaches us about the unhealthiness of two different types of anger: being angry oneself or causing anger in another. Both are unhealthy because our anger is not from God. Though it is possible that anger may serve us positively in certain instances, it has been proven, both by our ancient spiritual traditions and by modern psychology, that excessive or habitual anger will always have negative, self-destructive consequences, both to the one who is angry and to the people around them. Thus, it is also true that managing one's anger, that reconciling with those with whom one is angry or with those that one has made angry are two very important, fundamental aspects of spiritual cultivation!
