tcent James:1:19-27
tcent@James:1:19 @ This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger,
tcent@James:1:20 @ for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
tcent@James:1:21 @ Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and rank growth of wickedness, in humility receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
tcent@James:1:22 @ But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves.
tcent@James:1:23 @ For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;
tcent@James:1:24 @ for he looks at himself and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was like.
tcent@James:1:25 @ But one who looks intently into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but a doer that acts, this man will be blessed in what he does.
tcent@James:1:26 @ If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless.
tcent@James:1:27 @ Religion that is pure and undefiled in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
