James 1:19-25

19Know this, my dear brothers and sisters: let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger—

20for human anger doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.

21So put away all moral filth and excess of evil and receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

22But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding yourselves.

23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror—

24for once he looks at himself and goes away, he immediately forgets what sort of person he was.

25But the one who looks intently into the perfect Torah, the Torah that gives freedom, and continues in it, not becoming a hearer who forgets but a doer who acts—he shall be blessed in what he does.
