Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
I have seen people use this verse to justify their anger. The even go so far as to suggest that the scripture is telling us to be angry.
Most anger is the result of unforgiveness, pride, or personal wilfulness. It usually involves judgment and is often the motivation for violence, vengeance and abuse which is sin.
"Be ye angry, and sin not" is not telling us to be angry but if you are angry do not let you turn your anger into the actions of sin.
We also see the word angry in John 7:23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
But that is a different word for angry. [1]

(26) Be ye angry, and sin not.—A quotation from the LXX. version of Psalm 4:4. Anger itself is not sin, for our Lord Himself felt it (Mark 3:5) at the “hardness of men’s hearts;” and it is again and again attributed to God Himself, in language no doubt of human accommodation, but, of course, accommodation to what is sinless in humanity. In the form of resentment, and above all of the resentment of righteous indignation, it performs (as Butler has shown in his sermon on “Resentment”) a stimulating and inspiring function in the strife against evil. But it is a dangerous and exceptional weapon: and hence the exhortation “sin not,” and the practical enforcement of that exhortation in the next clause. Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers
