James 1:18-21
18In the exercise of 1His will He 2brought us forth by 3the word of truth, so that we would be 4a kind of 5first fruits 6among His creatures.
197This 8you know, 9my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, 10slow to speak and 11slow to anger; 20for 12the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God. 21Therefore, 13putting aside all filthiness and all 14that remains of wickedness, in 15humility receive 16the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.
