You must understand this, my beloved: let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger;
James 1:19
James 1:20–22 NRSV
for your anger does not produce God’s righteousness. Therefore rid yourselves of all sordidness and rank growth of wickedness, and welcome with meekness the implanted word that has the power to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves.
