Be sure of that, my beloved brothers. Let everyone be quick to listen, slow to talk, slow to be angry ??20 for human anger does not promote divine righteousness;

For whoever listens and does nothing, is like a man who glances at his natural face in a mirror;

Whoever considers he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, his religion is futile.

You observe it is by what he does that a man is justified, not simply by what he believes.

Does a fountain pour out fresh water and brackish from the same hole?

[follows 2:26] Whoever, then, knows what is right to do and does not do it, that is a sin for him.
