In context
18 Of his owne will begate hee vs with the woorde of trueth, that we shoulde be as the first fruites of his creatures.
19 Wherefore my deare brethren, let euery man be swift to heare, slowe to speake, and slowe to wrath.
20 For the wrath of man doeth not accomplish the righteousnesse of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthinesse, and superfluitie of maliciousnesse, and receiue with meekenes the word that is graffed in you, which is able to saue your soules.
22 And be ye doers of the word, and not hearers onely, deceiuing your owne selues.
23 For if any heare the woorde, and doe it not, he is like vnto a man, that beholdeth his naturall face in a glasse.
24 For when he hath considered himselfe, hee goeth his way, and forgetteth immediately what maner of one he was.
