Doers of the Word

But everyone must be quick to hear, (C)slow to speak and (D)slow to anger; 20 for (E)the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God. 21 Therefore, (F)laying aside all filthiness and all [b]that remains of wickedness, in gentleness receive (G)the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
