g Know this, my beloved brothers:

i slow to speak,
j slow to anger;
series
for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
Therefore k put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness
and receive with l meekness the implanted word,
m which is able to save your souls.

and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer,
he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror.
For he looks at himself
and goes away
and at once forgets what he was like.

and perseveres,
being no hearer who forgets
but a doer who acts,

this person’s r religion is worthless.
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this:

and u to keep oneself v unstained from the world.
