James 1:24

---

← James 1:23	James 1:24 (KJV)	James 1:25 →
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:	For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.	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 shall be blessed in his deed.
