James 1:21-23
1599 Geneva Bible
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness, and superfluity of maliciousness, and receive with [a]meekness the word that is grafted in you, which is able to save your souls.
22 (A)[b]And be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, [c]deceiving your own selves.
23 [d]For if any hear the word, and do it not, he is like unto a man, that beholdeth his [e]natural face in a glass.
