For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;

But one who looks intently into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but a doer that acts, this man will be blessed in what he does.

Can a fig tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Nor can salt water produce fresh.

Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it.

Do not grumble, brethren, against one another, that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door.
