James 1:19-21

1912You know this, 3my beloved brothers and sisters. Now everyone must be quick to hear, 4slow to speak, and 5slow to anger;

20for a man’s 6anger does not bring about the righteousness of God.

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