James 1:19-27

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

New International Version NIV

19 Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,

20 for the wrath of man does not work the righteousness of God.

20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

21 So then, leave all uncleanness and remains of malice and receive with meekness the word ingested within you, which is able to cause your souls to be saved.

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.

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

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

23 For if anyone hears the word and does not put it into practice, this same is like unto the man beholding his natural face in a mirror:

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

24 For he considered himself and went his way and in one hour forgot what he was like.

24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.

25 But whosoever has looked attentively into the perfect law of liberty and has persevered in it, not being a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, the same shall be blessed in their deed.

25 But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.

26 If anyone among you thinks to be religious and does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, his religion is vain.

26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.

27 The pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation and to keep thyself unspotted from this world.

27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
