Worrell(i)
16 Be not deceived, my beloved brethren.
17 Every good gift, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with Whom there is no variableness or shadow cast by turning.
18 Having willed it, He brought us forth with a word of truth, that we might be a certain first-fruit of His creatures.
19 Ye know this, my beloved brethren; but let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;
20 for man's wrath works not God's righteousness.
21 Wherefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive in meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 And become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding yourselves.
23 Because, if anyone is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a mirror;
24 for he observed himself, and went away, and straightway he forgot what manner of man he was.
25 But he who looks carefully into a perfect law—that of liberty—and remains by it, becoming not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work—this man shall be happy in his doing.
26 If anyone thinks that he is religious, while he bridles not his own tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
27 A religion, pure and undefiled with our God and Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
