Proverbs 19:11, "A person’s discretion makes him slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense."

It is not weakness or lack of courage that makes one slow to anger. It is wisdom, as it is described as discretion. A wise Christian knows that they have been forgiven much, and this shapes how they deal with others. They don’t act as if they must hold everyone accountable for every transgression but know when to overlook a transgression.

“The manlier any man is, the milder and readier to pass by an offense. This shows that he hath much of God in him (if he does it from a right principle), who bears with our evil manners, and forgives our trespasses, beseeching us to be reconciled.” (Trapp)
