James 1:18-21Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
18 God decided to give us life through the true message he sent to us.
He wanted us to be the most important of all that he created.
19 My dear brothers and sisters, always be more willing to listen
than to speak. Keep control of your anger.
20 Anger does not help you live the way God wants.
[catholic: slow to anger;
20 for your anger does not produce God’s righteousness.]
21 So get rid of everything evil in your lives—every kind of wrong you do.
Be humble and accept God’s teaching that is planted in your hearts.
This teaching can save you.
