James 1:21

Doers Of The Message, Not Just Hearers

²⁰ for the anger of man doesn't produce the righteousness of God. ²¹ Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. ²² But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.
