19Ye know [this], my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

20for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

21Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves.

23For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror:

24for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

25But he that looketh into the perfect law, the [law] of liberty, and [so] continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing.
