James 1:21

Doers Of The Message, Not Just Hearers

²⁰ for a man's anger does not produce the uprightness that God requires. ²¹ So strip yourselves of everything impure and all the evils prevailing around you, and in humble spirit welcome the message which when rooted in your hearts is able to save your souls. ²² Keep on obeying this message; do not merely listen to it, and so deceive yourselves.
