Jas 1:19  So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; 

Jas 1:20  for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. 

Jas 1:21  Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. 

Jas 1:22  But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 

Jas 1:23  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; 

Jas 1:24  for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 

Jas 1:25  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. 

Jas 1:26  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. 

Jas 1:27  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.
