* Wherefore , my beloved brethren , let every man be swift to hear , slow to speak , slow to wrath : * For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God . * Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness , and receive with meekness the engrafted word , which is able to save your souls . * But be ye doers of the word , and not hearers only , deceiving your own selves . * For if any be a hearer of the word , and not a doer , he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass : * For he beholdeth himself , and goeth his way , and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was . * But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty , and continueth therein , he being not a forgetful hearer , but a doer of the work , this man shall be blessed in his deed . * If any man among you seem to be religious , and bridleth not his tongue , but deceiveth his own heart , this man 's religion is vain . * Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this , To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction , and to keep himself unspotted from the world .
