James 1:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 Wherefore my dear brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath.
20 For the wrath of man doth not accomplish the [a]righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness, and superfluity of maliciousness, and receive with [b]meekness the word that is grafted in you, which is able to save your souls.

Listening and Doing
19 My dear brothers and sisters,(A) take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak(B) and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger(C) does not produce the righteousness that God desires. 21 Therefore, get rid of(D) all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you,(E) which can save you.
