BASIC SCRIPTURES: JAMES 1:22; PROVERBS 14:19-23
James 1:22 (KJV):
“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”
Proverbs 14:19-23 (KJV):
“19 The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.
21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.
22 Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
23 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.”
These verses from James emphasize the importance of not just hearing the word but also acting upon it. The Proverbs verses touch on various aspects of righteousness, relationships, and the consequences of one’s actions.
