MNT(i)
18 Because he willed, he gave us birth through the word of truth, so that we should be a kind of first-fruits among his creatures.
19 Mark this well, my dear brothers. Let every man be swift in hearing, slow in speaking, slow in growing angry;
20 for a man's anger does not further the righteous purpose of God.
21 So strip off all filthiness and superfluity of wickedness, and in meekness receive the implanted Word, which is able to save your souls.
