"My little children, let us not love in word, neither in
tongue; but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that
we are of the truth, and assure our hearts before him. For
if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and
knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not,
then we have confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask,
we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do
those things that are pleasing in his sight. And this is
his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his
Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us
commandment. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth
in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth
in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us." <> I John 3:18-24
"But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of
Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their

and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man
his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for
they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of
them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will
remember their sin no more." <> Jeremiah 31:33-34
"For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind,
and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they
shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his
neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all
shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful
to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I
remember no more. <> Hebrews 8:10-12

"My dear friends, you should be quick to listen and slow to speak or
to get angry. If you are angry, you cannot do any of the good things
that God wants done. You must stop doing anything immoral or evil.
Instead be humble and accept the message that is planted in you to
save you. Obey God's message! Don't fool yourselves by just listening
to it. If you hear the message and don't obey it, you are like people
who stare at themselves in a mirror and forget what they look like as
soon as they leave. But you must never stop looking at the perfect
law that sets you free. God will bless you in everything you do, if
you listen and obey, and don't just hear and forget. If you think you
are being religious, but can't control your tongue, you are fooling
yourself, and everything you do is useless. Religion that pleases God
the Father must be pure and spotless. You must help needy orphans and
widows and not let this world make you evil." CEV
"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow
to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the
righteousness of God. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and
superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted
word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the word,
and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a
hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding
his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself and goeth his
way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso
looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he
being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall
be blessed in his deed. If any man among you seem to be religious,
and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's
religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the
Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction,
and to keep himself unspotted from the world." KJV
"Know this, my dear brothers: everyone should be quick to hear, slow
to speak, slow to wrath, for the wrath of a man does not accomplish
the righteousness of God. Therefore, put away all filth and evil
excess and humbly welcome the word that has been planted in you and
is able to save your souls. Be doers of the word and not hearers
only, deluding yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word
and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his own face in a
mirror. He sees himself, then goes off and promptly forgets what
he looked like. But the one who peers into the perfect law of
freedom and perseveres, and is not a hearer who forgets but a doer
who acts, such a one shall be blessed in what he does. If anyone
thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives
his heart, his religion is vain. Religion that is pure and undefiled
before God and the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in
their affliction and to keep oneself unstained by the world." NAB
"My dear brothers and sisters, always be willing to listen and slow
to speak. Do not become angry easily, because anger will not help you
live the right kind of life God wants. So put out of your life every
evil thing and every kind of wrong. Then in gentleness accept God's
teaching that is planted in your hearts, which can save you. Do what
God's teaching says; when you only listen and do nothing, you are
fooling yourselves. Those who hear God's teaching and do nothing are
like people who look at themselves in a mirror. They see their faces
and then go away and quickly forget what they looked like. But the
truly happy people are those who carefully study God's perfect law
that makes people free, and they continue to study it. They do not
forget what they heard, but they obey what God's teaching says. Those
who do this will be made happy." NCV
"My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to
listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does
not bring about the righteous life that God desires. 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. Do not merely
listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like
a man who looks at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what
he looks like. But 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. If
anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein
on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.
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." NIV
"So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow
to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the
righteousness of God. Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow
of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is
able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers
only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and
not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;
for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind
of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and
continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work,
this one will be blessed in what he does. If anyone among you thinks
he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own
heart, this one's religion is useless. Pure and undefiled religion
before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in
their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world." NKJV
"My dear brothers and sisters, be quick to listen, slow to speak, and
slow to get angry. Your anger can never make things right in God's
sight. So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly
accept the message God has planted in your hearts, for it is strong
enough to save your souls. And remember, it is a message to obey,
not just to listen to. If you don't obey, you are only fooling yourself.
For if you just listen and don't obey, it is like looking at your face
in a mirror but doing nothing to improve your appearance. You see
yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. But if you keep
looking steadily into God's perfect law - the law that sets you free
- and if you do what it says and don't forget what you heard, then God
will bless you for doing it. If you claim to be religious but don't
control your tongue, you are just fooling yourself, and your religion
is worthless. Pure and lasting religion in the sight of God our Father
means that we must care for orphans and widows in their troubles, and
refuse to let the world corrupt us." NLTV
"You must understand this, my beloved: let everyone be quick to listen,
slow to speak, slow to anger; for your anger does not produce God's
righteousness. Therefore rid yourselves of all sordidness and rank
growth of wickedness, and welcome with meekness the implanted word
that has the power to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and
not merely hearers who deceive themselves. For if any are hearers of
the word and not doers, they are like those who look at themselves in
a mirror; for they look at themselves and, on going away, immediately
forget what they were like. But those who look into the perfect law,
the law of liberty, and persevere, being not hearers who forget but
doers who act - they will be blessed in their doing. If any think they
are religious, and do not bridle their tongues but deceive their hearts,
their religion is worthless. Religion that is pure and undefiled before
God, the Father, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their
distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world." NRSV
