Wrath (Latin, ira), also known as "rage", may be described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger.

Wrath, in its purest form, presents with self-destructiveness, violence, and hate that may provoke feuds that can go on for centuries. Wrath may persist long after the person who did another a grievous wrong is dead. Feelings of anger can manifest in different ways, including impatience, revenge, and vigilantism. Anger is an emotion many of us experience from time to time. But is anger a sin? It can be - depending on what we are angry about and what we do with that anger. But anger isn't always a sin. It can't be. After all we read many times that God gets angry Jesus was angry with the Pharisees for their hypocrisy and lack of compassion toward the man with the withered hand, Mark 3:5. Jesus was rightly angry at the corruption and cheating that was going on in the temple and the lack of reverence for God and His house, Matthew 21:12-13and John 2:13-16

The bible cautions us 'Be angry, and yet do not sin,' Ephesians 4:26. Therefore we know it is possible to be angry and yet not sin.When anger bubbles up in response to pain, its not a sin. Experiencing the involuntary immediate sensation of anger in response to physical or emotional pain is not a sin. What is a sin, however, is what sometimes happens next. Reacting with hostility, such as swearing, yelling, or hitting the person who hurt you that is a sin. And plotting revenge against the one who hurt you is an especially grave sin.
