James 1:20 in Context — James 1

18 Conforme a sua própria vontade, ele nos gerou pela palavra da verdade, para que fôssemos os primeiros frutos dentre as suas criaturas.

19 Portanto, meus amados irmãos, toda pessoa seja pronta para ouvir, tardia para falar, tardia para se irar;

20 porque a ira humana não cumpre a justiça de Deus.

21 Por isso, rejeitai toda impureza e abundância de malícia, e recebei com mansidão a palavra implantada em [vós] , que pode salvar as vossas almas;

22 e sede praticantes da palavra, e não somente ouvintes, enganando a vós mesmos.
