James 1:21

Doers Of The Message, Not Just Hearers

²⁰ For the anger of man does not forward the righteous purpose of God. ²¹ Therefore, have done with all filthiness and whatever wickedness still remains, and in a humble spirit receive that Message which has been planted in your hearts and is able to save your souls. ²² Put that Message into practice, and do not merely listen to it--deceiving yourselves.
