James 1:18-21
-
18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
-
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
-
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
-
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
