James 1:21

Doers Of The Message, Not Just Hearers

²⁰ For the righteousness of God does not come about by the wrath of man. ²¹ For this reason, putting away all dirty behaviour and the overweight of evil, take into your souls without pride the word which, being planted there, is able to give you salvation. ²² But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas.
