"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:"
- James 1:19 KJV
Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear,slow to speak, slow to anger;
- James 1:19 ESV
"My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry," - James 1:19 NIV
Dear Friends,
James 1:19 is one of my favorite Bible verses. The reminders to be a good listener, think before you speak and do not be quick to become angry are priceless resources in building and maintaining healthy relationships.
Listen more. Speak less. Control your temper. You will be glad that you did. Consider James 1:20:
"For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God." KJV
"for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God." ESV
"because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires." NIV
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie
