Friends discussing Ephesians have a question concerning the tense of the
verb "angry" in this passage. Some references seem to indicate the text is
a continual command, i.e., "continually be angry." Roberts Word Pictures
states that be angry is "permissive imperative" and specifically NOT a
command to be angry, but rather a way to indicate the sinful danger
inherent in being angy. I can't find anything on a verb tense called
permissive imperative anywhere - does anyone have further information?
Thank you so much.
