James 1:19

Living Out the Message

1:19 Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters! ¹  Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.

James 1:26

1:26 If someone thinks he is religious yet does not bridle his tongue, and so deceives his heart, his religion is futile.

¹ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:2.
