James 1:18-21 Faith and Wisdom

18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.

19 Listening and Doing
My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,
20 for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. 21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.
