The proper attitude that sinners ( see Matthew 26:36-46
( especially verse 45, for example ), for example ) must have, toward the gospel

2, it is written,
There can be problems with anger in the church. In
James 4:1, it is written,
In 2 Timothy 2:24, it is written, " 24 And r the Lord's servant4 must not be quarrrelsome but s kind to everyone, t able to teach, patiently enduring evil. " Jesus endured hostility from sinners against Himself ( see Hebrews 12:1-6, for example ). Please seek and read from the book of the LORD ( see Isaiah 34:16, for example ).
