James 1:18-20

Lexham English Bible

¹⁸ By his^[a] will he gave birth to us through the message of truth, so that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

Doers of the Message, Not Just Hearers

¹⁹ Understand this, my dear brothers: every person must be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger, ²⁰ for human^[b] anger does not accomplish the righteousness of God.
