Be Doers of the Word

19

So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

20

for the anger of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God.

21

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

22

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

23

For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;

24

for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

25

But he who looks into the perfect Torah of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.

26

If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.

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 unstained by the world.
