James 1:19-25 NIV
19 My dear brothers, take note
of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow
to become angry,
20 for man's anger does not
bring about the righteous life that God desires.
21 Therefore, get rid of all
moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the
word planted in you, which can save you.
22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive
yourselves. Do what it says.
23 Anyone who listens to the
word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his
face in a mirror
24 and, after looking at
himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
25 But the man who looks
intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to
do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be
blessed in what he does. |
