This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The wrath of man (orgē andros). Here anēr (as opposed to gunē woman), not anthrōpos of Jam 1:19 (inclusive of both man and woman). If taken in this sense, it means that a man’s anger (settled indignation in contrast with thumos, boiling rage or fury) does not necessarily work God’s righteousness. There is such a thing as righteous indignation, but one is not necessarily promoting the cause of God by his own personal anger. See Act 10:35 for “working righteousness,” and Jam 2:9 for “working sin” (ergazomai both times).
