James 1:21 - Forerunner Commentary

James 1:21

Qualities Needed in Trials

19 ¹So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, ^aslow to speak, ^bslow to wrath;

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

Doers—Not Hearers Only

21 Therefore ^alay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, ^bwhich is able to save your souls.

22 But ^abe doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

23 For ^aif anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;

24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

25 But ^ahe who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, ^bthis one will be blessed in what he does.
