James 1:18-21

18He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.

19Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.

20Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.

21So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.
