James (Jacob) 1:19-21, 26

James (Jacob) 1:19-21 TPT

My dearest brothers and sisters, take this to heart: Be quick to listen, but slow to speak. And be slow to become angry, for human anger is never a legitimate tool to promote God’s righteous purpose. So this is why we abandon everything morally impure and all forms of wicked conduct. Instead, with a sensitive spirit we absorb God’s Word, which has been implanted within our nature, for the Word of Life has power to continually deliver us.

James (Jacob) 1:26 TPT

If someone believes they have a relationship with God but fails to guard his words then his heart is drifting away and his religion is shallow and empty.
