James:1:19-27
Seeker Overlay ON
*
So then ,
my beloved brethren ,
let every man be swift to hear ,
slow to speak ,
slow to wrath ;
*
for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God .
*
Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness ,
and receive with meekness the implanted word ,
which is able to save your souls .
*
But be doers of the word ,
and not hearers only ,
deceiving yourselves .
*
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer ,
he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror ;
*
for he observes himself ,
goes away ,
and immediately forgets what kind of man he was .
*
But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it ,
and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work ,
this one will be blessed in what he does .
*
If anyone among you thinks he is religious ,
and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart ,
this one '
s religion is useless .
*
Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this :
to visit orphans and widows in their trouble ,
and to keep oneself unspotted from the world .
