James 1:22-25

James 1:22-25

[22] But  be ye  doers  of the word,  and  not  hearers  only,  deceiving  your own selves.  [23] For  a hearer  of the word,  and  not  a doer,  he  is like  unto a man  beholding  his  natural  face  in  a glass:  [24] For  he beholdeth  himself,  and  goeth his way,  and  straightway  forgetteth  what manner of man  [25] But  whoso looketh  into  the perfect  law  of liberty,  and  continueth  therein, he  being  not  a forgetful  hearer,  but  a doer  of the work,  this man  blessed  in  his  deed.
