James 1:20-22

20 For the anger of a man does not produce[a] the righteousness of God. 21 Therefore having laid-aside all filthiness and abundance[b] of badness, receive with gentleness the implanted word being able to save your souls.
But Be Doers of The Word, Not Hearers Only
22 But be[c] doers of the word and not hearers only, deluding[d] yourselves.
