“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:”
James 1:19 KJV
Every one that doeth righteousness is born of God. Now therefore hearken unto Me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but they that refraineth their lips are wise, and they that are slow to wrath are of great understanding: but they that are hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
James 1:16-18 KJV
Jesus said:
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I(Jesus) say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Matthew 5:43-48 KJV
