James 1:25

Doers Of The Message, Not Just Hearers

²⁴ for he beholds himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what manner of man he was. ²⁵ But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty, and remains there, being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in his deed. ²⁶ If any one thinks that he is religious, and bridles not his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this mans religion is vain.
