Yakobus 1:21

1:21 So put away all filth and evil excess and humbly ¹  welcome the message implanted within you, which is able to save your souls.

Yakobus 5:5

5:5 You have lived indulgently and luxuriously on the earth. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. ² 

[1:21]  ¹ tn Or “with meekness.”

[5:5]  ² sn James’ point seems to be that instead of seeking deliverance from condemnation, they have defied God’s law (fattened your hearts) and made themselves more likely objects of his judgment (in a day of slaughter).
