James 1:18

18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.

James 1:21

21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

James 1:22

22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

James 1:23

23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror

James 3:2

2 We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.
