not /be/_giving place ˱to˲_the devil
Alternate translation: “and do not give the devil an opportunity to lead you into sin”
4:26-27 “don’t sin by letting anger control you” (literally “be angry and do not sin”): This verse quotes Ps 4:4. The literal form of the quotation cannot be used to justify anger, for anger gives a foothold to the devil (cp. Jas 1:20). God’s people are to be gentle and gracious, not harsh or angry (see Eph 4:31-32).
• Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry: Anger must quickly be resolved, not allowed to stew.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
