James 1:22-24

Expanded Bible

²² ·Do what God’s teaching says; when you only listen and do nothing, you are fooling yourselves [^LBe doers of the word, and not only hearers, deceiving yourselves; Luke 11:28; Rom. 2:13]. ²³ Those who hear God’s ·teaching [word] and do nothing are like people who look at ·themselves [their natural face; ^Lthe face of their birth] in a mirror. ²⁴ [^LFor] They ·see their faces [gaze at themselves] and then go away and quickly forget what they looked like.
