James 1:20 Context
18Of his owne will begate hee vs, with the word of Trueth, that wee should bee a kinde of first fruites of his creatures. 19Wherefore my beloued brethren, let euery man bee swift to heare, slow to speake, slow to wrath. 20For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousnesse of God. 21Wherefore lay apart all filthinesse, and superfluitie of naughtinesse, & receiue with meeknesse the engrafted word, which is able to saue your soules. 22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers onely, deceiuing your owne selues.
