James:1:19-25
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Wherefore ,
my beloved brethren ,
let every man be (
5749 )
swift to hear (
5658 ),
slow to speak (
5658 ),
slow to wrath :
*
For the wrath of man worketh (
5736 )
not the righteousness of God .
*
Wherefore lay apart (
5642 )
all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness ,
and receive (
5663 )
with meekness the engrafted word ,
which is able (
5740 )
to save (
5658 )
your souls .
*
But be ye (
5737 )
doers of the word ,
and not hearers only ,
deceiving (
5740 )
your own selves .
*
For if any be (
5748 )
a hearer of the word ,
and not a doer ,
he is like (
5758 )
unto a man beholding (
5723 )
his natural face in a glass :
*
For he beholdeth (
5656 )
himself ,
and goeth his way (
5754 ),
and straightway forgetteth (
5633 )
what manner of man he was (
5713 ).
*
But whoso looketh (
5660 )
into the perfect law of liberty ,
and continueth (
5660 )
therein ,
he being (
5637 )
not a forgetful hearer ,
but a doer of the work ,
this man shall be (
5704 )
blessed in his deed .
