Greetings Lee, James 1:19 says, "You must understand this, my beloved: let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger;" [NRSV] [NRSV] - New Revised Standard Version "1:19 everyone must be ... slow to speak. See v. 26." (1) "19-20: Anger, see Eph. 4:26 n." (2) "[Ephesians 4:26] 26:If angry, let it neither be in a sinful spirit nor prolonged (Ps. 4:4; James 1:19-20)." (2) "1:19 swift to hear, slow to speak. Believers are to respond positively to Scripture, and eagerly pursue every opportunity to know God's Word and will better (cf. Ps. 119:11; 2 Tim. 2:15). But at the same time, they should be cautious about becoming a preacher or teacher too quickly (see notes on 3:1,2; cf. Ezek. 3:17; 33:6,7; 1 Tim. 3:6; 5:22)." (3) This is an interesting passage, and obviously written with the tone of instruction. Paul is again giving Christians direction on how we should live and conduct our lives, helping us to focus on Christ.

Greetings Lee, I apologize, it is James who is giving us instruction in James 1:19, not Paul. :-) Blessings to you, Makarios |
