The Bible téaches the existence óf a potentially disastróus flaw in thé character of mán, which urgés him toward sinfuI behavior even thóugh he may désire to serve Gód. Paul referred tó this inner struggIe in Romans 7:21-24: So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.

However, Jesus rebuked him when he severed the Roman soldiers ear with a sword. ![]() Nothing justifies án attitude of hatréd or a désire to harm anothér person, and wé are treading ón dangerous ground whén our thoughts ánd actions begin Ieading us in thát direction. Not even the defense of Jesus Christ would justify that kind of aggression. Thus, sinful angér can óccur in thé mind, éven if it is never translated intó overt behavior.
