James 1:18-21

ISV(i) 18 In accordance with his will he made us his children by the word of truth, so that we might become the most important of his creatures.
19 You must understand this, my dear brothers. Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. 20 For human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. 21 Therefore, rid yourselves of everything impure and every expression of wickedness, and with a gentle spirit welcome the word planted in you that can save your souls.
