James 1:25

Doers Of The Message, Not Just Hearers

²⁴ who beheld himself, and went away, and immediately forgot what manner of man he was. ²⁵ But he that looketh well into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. ²⁶ If any among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his heart, this man's devotion is vain.
