James 1:18-20
New International Version
18 He chose to give us birth(A) through the word of truth,(B) that we might be a kind of firstfruits(C) of all he created.
Listening and Doing
19 My dear brothers and sisters,(D) take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak(E) and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger(F) does not produce the righteousness that God desires.
James 1:18-20
King James Version
18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
