James 1:25

Doers Of The Message, Not Just Hearers

²⁴ For as soon as he hath looked on himself, he goeth his way, and forgetteth immediately what his fashion was: ²⁵ but whoso looketh in the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein - if he be not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work - the same shall be happy in his deed. ²⁶ If any man among you seem devout, and refrain not his tongue: but deceive his own heart, this man's devotion is in vain.
