16 (1:3) Be not deceived, my beloved brothers.
17 All good giving, and every perfect gift, comes down from above, from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or shadow of turning.
18 Of his own will begat he us by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruit of his creatures.
19 (1:4) Understand, my beloved brothers, and let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;
20 for man's anger performs not God's righteousness.
21 Wherefore, laying aside all filthiness and abounding vice, receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
23 For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man perceiving his natural face in a glass;
24 for he perceived himself, and went away, and immediately forgot what kind of a man he was.
25 But he that looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, not being a forgetful hearer but a doer of work, he shall be blessed in his doing.
26 But if any one among you thinks he is religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his mind, that man's religion is vain.
27 Pure religion and undefiled with the God and Father is this, to visit the orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.
