19You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;
20For the righteousness of God does not come about by the wrath of man.
21For 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.
22But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas.
23Because if any man is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a glass;
24For after looking at himself he goes away, and in a short time he has no memory of what he was like.
25But he who goes on looking into the true law which makes him free, being not a hearer without memory but a doer putting it into effect, this man will have a blessing on his acts.
