James:1:19-27
riversident@James:1:19 @ I wish you to know this, my beloved brethren: Every man must be quick to hear, but slow to speak, slow to anger.
riversident@James:1:20 @ For a man's anger does not work out God's righteousness.
riversident@James:1:21 @ So lay aside all that is vile and all that remains of malice, and receive with gentleness the implanted message which can save your souls.
riversident@James:1:22 @ Become doers of the message and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
riversident@James:1:23 @ For if one is a hearer of the message and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror.
riversident@James:1:24 @ He looks at himself and is gone, and immediately forgets what sort of man he was.
riversident@James:1:25 @ But he who looks earnestly into the perfect law of liberty and continues to do so, and becomes not a forgetful hearer but a doer of work \'97 that man will be blessed in what he does.
riversident@James:1:26 @ If any one thinks himself religious while he does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, that man's religion is worthless.
riversident@James:1:27 @ Pure and stainless religion in the sight of God the Father is to visit orphans and widows in their trouble and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.
