If you really keep the royal law found in scripture, love your neighbor as yourself.

You are doing right.

James 2, verse 8.

James Chapter 1, verses 19 through 27.

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this.

Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry,

because human anger does not produce the righteousness that

God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly

accept the word planted in you, which can save you. Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

Anyone who listens to the word, but does not do what it says, is like someone who looks at his

face in a mirror, and after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks

like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom

and continues in it, not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it, they will be blessed

in what they do. Those who consider themselves religious, and yet do not keep a tight rain

on their tongues, deceive themselves,

and their religion is worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless

is this, to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being

polluted by the world.
