1:19 Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters! ¹  Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger. 1:20 For human ²  anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness. ³  1:21 So put away all filth and evil excess and humbly ⁴  welcome the message implanted within you, which is able to save your souls. 1:22 But be sure you live out the message and do not merely listen to it and so deceive yourselves.
