No Snapping!

^[19] My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, ^[20] because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. ^[21] Therefore, 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. ^[22] Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. ^[23] Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror ^[24] and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. ^[25] But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it-not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it-they will be blessed in what they do. ^[26] Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. ^[27] Religion 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.
