James 1:23-25

23For if anyone only listens to the word without obeying it, he is like a man who looks very carefully at his natural face in a mirror;

24for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he immediately forgets what he looked like.

25But he who looks carefully into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and faithfully abides by it, not having become a [careless] listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he will be blessed and favored by God in what he does [in his life of obedience].
