In the New Testament, "thumos" is often used to describe a passionate, intense form of anger or wrath. It conveys a sense of boiling agitation or a sudden outburst of emotion. This term is frequently associated with divine wrath or human anger that is intense and often destructive. It is distinct from "orge," another Greek word for anger, which implies a more settled or abiding state of mind.
