James 1:19-25

19Ye knowthis, my belovedG27 brethren. But let every manG444 beG1510 swift to hearG191, slowG1021 to speakG2980, slowG1021 to wrathG3709: 20for the wrathG3709 of manG435 worketh not the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316. 21Wherefore puttingG659 away all filthiness and overflowing of wickednessG2549, receiveG1209 with meekness the implanted wordG3056, which is ableG1410 to saveG4982 your soulsG5590. 22But be ye doersG4163 of the wordG3056, and not hearersG202 onlyG3440, deluding your ownG1438 selves. 23For if any oneG5100 isG1510 a hearerG202 of the wordG3056 and not a doerG4163, he isG1510 like unto a manG435 beholding his natural faceG4383 in a mirror: 24for he beholdeth himself, and goeth awayG565, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he wasG1510. 25But he that looketh into the perfectG5046 lawG3551, the lawG3551 of liberty, and so continueth, beingG1510 not a hearerG202 that forgetteth but a doerG4163 that worketh, this manG3778 shall beG1510 blessed in his doing.
