Where do you need to listen before you speak?
Read it in contextJames 1:16–23
16 Do not be misled, my dear brothers and sisters. 17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift comes from above, descending from the Father of lights, in whom there is no variation, no shadow cast by turning. 18 Because he willed it, he brought us to birth by the message of truth, so that we might be a sort of firstfruits among the things he made. 19 Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: every person must be ready to listen, in no hurry to speak, and slow to anger, 20 for a person’s anger does not accomplish the righteousness of God. 21 So strip off every kind of filth and the overflow of evil, and in a gentle spirit welcome the word rooted in you, the word that can save your souls. 22 But be people who act on the word. If you only hear it, you deceive yourselves. 23 For if anyone hears the word but does not carry it out, that person resembles a man who studies in a mirror the face he was born with.
