Be Doers of the Word

19

Ye knowthis, my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

For 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:

24

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

25

But 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.

26

If any man thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his heart, this man’s religion is vain.

27

Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
