“我亲爱的弟兄们，你们要知道，人人都应该快快地听，慢慢地说，慢一点动怒；”
雅各书 1:19
“You know this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Now everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;”
James 1:19
Too often we stubbornly hold on to our opinions and aren’t willing to consider what others are thinking. Matthew Henry’s Commentary has this to say: “We should be swift to hear reason and truth on all sides, and be slow to speak . . . and, when we do speak, there should be nothing of wrath.”
Someone has said, “Learning requires listening.” The practical words from God in the book of James can only be accomplished if we’re filled with God’s loving Spirit and choose to respect others. He’s willing to help us make changes in our hearts and attitudes. Are we open to listen and learn?
