“and become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,”— James 1:22 (LSV)
19So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,
20for the wrath of a man does not work the righteousness of God;
21for this reason, having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, receive the implanted word in meekness, that is able to save your souls;
22and become doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves,
23because, if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one has been like to a man viewing his natural face in a mirror,
24for he viewed himself, and has gone away, and immediately he forgot what kind of [man] he was;
25but he who looked into [the] perfect law—that of liberty, and continued there, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of work—this one will be blessed in his doing.
