James 1:19-25

19So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

20for man's wrath does not work 1God's righteousness.

21Wherefore, laying aside all filthiness and abounding of wickedness, accept with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

22But be ye doers of [the] word and not hearers only, beguiling yourselves.

23For if any man be a hearer of [the] word and not a doer, he is like to a man considering his natural face in a mirror:

24for he has considered himself and is gone away, and straightway he has forgotten what he was like.

25But he that fixes his view on [the] perfect law, that of liberty, and abides in [it], being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of [the] work, he shall be blessed in his doing.
