18. By his will he gave birth to us through the message of truth, so that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
19. Understand this, my dear brothers: every person must be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
20. for human anger does not accomplish the righteousness of God.
21. Therefore, putting aside all moral uncleanness and wicked excess, welcome with humility the implanted message which is able to save your souls.
22. But be doers of the message and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,
23. because if anyone is a hearer of the message and not a doer, this one is like someone staring at his own face in a mirror,
24. for he looks at himself and goes away and immediately forgets what sort of person he was.
25. But the one who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues to do it, not being a forgetful hearer but a doer who acts, this one will be blessed in what he does.
