James 1:19-25

19Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters! Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.

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

21So put away all filth and evil excess and humbly welcome the message implanted within you, which is able to save your souls.

22But be sure you live out the message and do not merely listen to it and so deceive yourselves.

23For if someone merely listens to the message and does not live it out, he is like someone who gazes at his own face in a mirror.

24For he gazes at himself and then goes out and immediately forgets what sort of person he was.

25But the one who peers into the perfect law of liberty and fixes his attention there, and does not become a forgetful listener but one who lives it out – he will be blessed in what he does.
