In context

¹⁸He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we would be a kind of firstfruits of His creation.

¹⁹My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,

²⁰For man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires.

²¹Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and every expression of evil, and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save your souls.

²²Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.
