Hebrews 2:1

Warning Against Neglecting Salvation

1Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.

James 1:19-25

Hearing and Doing the Word

19 aKnow this, my beloved brothers: let every person bbe quick to hear, cslow to speak, dslow to anger; 20for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. 21Therefore eput away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with fmeekness the implanted word, gwhich is able to save your souls.

22But be hdoers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. 24For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. 25But the one who looks into the perfect law, ithe law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, jhe will be blessed in his doing.

1 Peter 2:1-2

A Living Stone and a Holy People

1 kSo put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. 2 lLike newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual mmilk, that by it you may grow up into salvation—
