Hearing and Doing the Word
19 My dear brothers and sisters, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, 1:19 Pr 10:19; 17:27; Ec 5:1–220 for human anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness. 21 Therefore, ridding yourselves of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent, 1:21 Or the abundance of evil humbly receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. 1:21 Eph 1:13; 4:22; Col 3:8
