^{19 Ref} You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;

^{20 Ref} For the righteousness of God does not come about by the wrath of man.

^{21 Ref} For this reason, putting away all dirty behaviour and the overweight of evil, take into your souls without pride the word which, being planted there, is able to give you salvation.

^{19 Ref} So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

^{20 Ref} for the anger of man doesn't produce the righteousness of God.

^{21 Ref} Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls{or, preserve your life.}.

^{19 Ref} Ye know `this', my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

^{20 Ref} for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

^{21 Ref} Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
