James 1:22-26

Goodspeed(i) 22 Obey the message; do not merely listen to it, and deceive yourselves. 23 For anyone who merely listens to the message without obeying it is like a man who looks in a mirror at the face that nature gave him, 24 and then goes off and immediately forgets what he looked like. 25 But whoever looks at the faultless law that makes men free and keeps looking, so that he does not just listen and forget, but obeys and acts upon it, will be blessed in what he does. 26 If anyone thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue, but deceives himself, his religious observances are of no account.
