James 1:21-23
21ThereforeG1352, 1puttingG659 asideG659 allG3956 filthinessG4507 and all 2that remainsG4050 of wickednessG2549, in 3humilityG4240 receiveG1209 4the wordG3056 implantedG1721, which is ableG1410 to saveG4982 your soulsG5590.
225But proveG1096 yourselves doersG4163 of the wordG3056, and not merelyG3441 hearersG202 who deludeG3884 themselvesG1438.
23For ifG1487 anyoneG5100 is a hearerG202 of the wordG3056 and not a doerG4163, he is likeG1858 a manG435 who looksG2657 at his 6naturalG1078 faceG4383 7in a mirrorG2072;
