Hearing and Doing the Word

^19 (A)Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person ^(B)be quick to hear, ^(C)slow to speak, ^(D)slow to anger; ²⁰ for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

²⁶ If anyone thinks he is religious ^(A)and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's ^(B)religion is worthless. ²⁷ Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: ^(C)to visit ^(D)orphans and widows in their affliction, and ^(E)to keep oneself ^(F)unstained from the world.
