James 1:19-25 (ESV)
Hearing and “DOING THE WORD”
“[19] Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; [20] for the anger of man DOES NOT produce the righteousness of GOD. [21] Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness AND RECEIVE with meekness the implanted WORD, which is able to save your souls.
[22] But be DOERS OF THE WORD, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. [23] For if anyone is a hearer of the WORD and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. [24] For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. [25] But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but A DOER WHO ACTS, HE WILL BE BLESSED in his doing.”
