James 1:19-25

19My dear brothers and sisters, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,

20for human anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness.

21Therefore, ridding yourselves of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent, humbly receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

22But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

23Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like someone looking at his own face in a mirror.

24For he looks at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person he was.

25But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer who works — this person will be blessed in what he does.
