Abba Macarius said, "If you reprove someone and do it with anger, you have satisfied your own passion; do not lose yourself in order to save another."
Q. Is it enough then that we do not kill our neighbor in any such way? A. No. By condemning envy, hatred, and anger God tells us to love our neighbors as ourselves, to be patient, peace-loving, gentle, merciful, and friendly to them, to protect them from harm as much as we can, and to do good even to our enemies.
