Ephesians 4:26
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.
I need some input on this verse. The other day I saw a comment that didn't line up with my interpretation so I felt like I should take another look.
As I see it this verse means to be angry towards sin (be ye angry) and sin not. If you hate the sin you are less likely to continue in it. I also think that not letting the sun go down upon your wrath means to not be wavering, accepting or yielding to the sin but always having wrath toward it and hating the sin.
This is the opposite of being accepting of the sin as we see being taught today. If you love your neighbor you will hate the sin that makes them stumble.
What is the general consensus? Is this the correct view or am I missing something?
