mnt - James:1:19-27

mnt@James:1:19 @ Mark this well, my dear brothers. Let every man be swift in hearing, slow in speaking, slow in growing angry;

mnt@James:1:20 @ for a mans anger does not further the righteous purpose of God.

mnt@James:1:21 @ So strip off all filthiness and superfluity of wickedness, and in meekness receive the implanted Word, which is able to save your souls.

mnt@James:1:22 @ And become doers of the Word, and not merely hearers, deceiving yourselves.

mnt@James:1:23 @ Because if any one is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;

mnt@James:1:24 @ for after he has looked carefully at himself, he goes away, and at once forgets what he is like.

mnt@James:1:25 @ But the man who looks closely into the perfect law - the law of liberty - and continues looking, this man will be blessed in his deed because he is not a hearer who forgets, but a doer who does.

mnt@James:1:26 @ If a man thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own religion,

mnt@James:1:27 @ and undefiled before our God and Father, to look after orphans and widows in their affliction, and ever to keep himself unspotted from the world.
