James 1:19-25

Godbey(i) 19 Know, my beloved brethren; but let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow toward wrath: 20 for the wrath of man works not the righteousness of God. 21 Therefore having laid aside all filthiness and excess of evil, 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 beholding his natural face in a mirror: 24 for he recognized himself, and has gone away, and immediately forgot what kind he was. 25 But the one having looked into the perfect law which is the law of liberty, and having remained in it, not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, he shall be happy in his work.
