回答柔和，使怒消退；
言语暴戾，触动怒气
雅各书 1:22-25
1:22 只是你们要行道，不要单单听道，自己欺哄自己。
1:23 因为听道而不行道的，就像人对着镜子看自己本来的面目，
1:24 看见，走后，随即忘了他的相貌如何。
1:25 惟有详细察看那全备、使人自由之律法的，并且时常如此，这人既不是听了就忘，乃是实在行出来，就在他所行的事上必然得福。
阿摩司书 9:11
9:11 到那日，我必建立大卫倒塌的帐幕，
堵住其中的破口。
把那破坏的建立起来，
重新修造，像古时一样，
使徒行传 15:16-18
15:16 正如经上所写的：
‘此后，我要回来，
重新修造大卫倒塌的帐幕，
把那破坏的重新修造建立起来。
15:17 叫余剩的人，
就是凡称为我名下的外邦人，
都寻求主。’
15:18 这话是从创世以来显明这事的主说的
James 1:22-25 (NIV)
22Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
23Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror
24and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
25But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it–he will be blessed in what he does.
Amos 9:11 (NIV)
11“In that day I will restore David’s fallen tent. I will repair its broken places, restore its ruins, and build it as it used to be,
Acts 15:16-18 (NIV)
16” ‘After this I will return and rebuild David’s fallen tent. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it,
17that the remnant of men may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who bear my name, says the Lord, who does these things’
18that have been known for ages
