James:1:19-27
noyes@James:1:19 @ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
noyes@James:1:20 @ For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
noyes@James:1:21 @ Wherefore put off all filthiness, and excess of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
noyes@James:1:22 @ But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
noyes@James:1:23 @ For if any one is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a glass;
noyes@James:1:24 @ for he beholds himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what manner of man he was.
noyes@James:1:25 @ But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty, and remains there, being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in his deed.
noyes@James:1:26 @ If any one thinks that he is religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this mans religion is vain.
noyes@James:1:27 @ Pure religion and undefiled before God, the Father, is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep ones self unspotted from the world.
