KJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. ¹⁹ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: ²⁰ For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. ²¹ Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

RKJNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ By his own will he brought us forth with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures. ¹⁹ Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger: ²⁰ For the anger of man does not promote the righteousness of God. ²¹ Therefore, lay aside all filthiness and the wickedness that is so abundant, and receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
