James 1:19-21

191This 2you know, 3my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, 4slow to speak and 5slow to anger;

20for 6the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.

21Therefore, 7putting aside all filthiness and all 8that remains of wickedness, in 9humility receive 10the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.
