Everyone should be quick
to listen—hear now and heed—
Slow to speak, also slow to anger
in word and deed.
Anger does not yield
a life praised by the Lord,
So get rid of all sin
and humbly accept God’s Word.
If you listen, but do not practice,
you’ll go astray,
Like a man who looks in a mirror,
then goes away.
You must keep looking;
God’s Word will set you free.
Don’t forget what you’ve heard,
but do it, and blessed you’ll be.
If you think you’re a
model Christian, yet speak too free,
If your tongue has no rein,
faith’s worthless; you’ve been deceived.
Here’s faith the Father accepts
as pure and true:
Help the needy, keep from
defilement in all you do.
