The Holy Ghost He Makes Me Better

"I'm asking and knocking"

Listening and Doing

¹⁹My dear brothers, take note of this:
Everyone should be quick to listen,
slow to speak and slow to become angry,
²⁰for man's anger does not bring about the
righteous life that God desires. ²¹Therefore,
get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so
prevalent and humbly accept the word planted
in you, which can save you.

²²Do not merely listen to the word, and so

deceive yourselves. Do what it says. ²³Anyone

who listens to the word but does not do what it

says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror

²⁴and, after looking at himself, goes away and

immediately forgets what he looks like. ²⁵But

the man who looks intently into the perfect

law that gives freedom, and continues to do

this, not forgetting what he has heard, but

doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.

²⁶If anyone considers himself religious and

yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue,

he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.

²⁷Religion that God our Father accepts as

pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans

and widows in their distress and to keep oneself

from being polluted by the world.

The word of God the key to life.
