"Wherefore my beloved brethren, let every man be SWIFT TO HEAR." Let us seize upon every opportunity to hear the word of our Lord from a faithful preacher.

     "Let us be SLOW TO SPEAK," either for or against what is heard without thoroughly weighing and considering it in the light of scripture and the person and work of Christ.

     "Let us be SLOW TO WRATH." A passionate, angry spirit is seldom teachable. The wrath of man does not promote nor persuade men of the righteousness of Christ, and a harsh demeanor does not adorn the gospel of the grace of God!
