James 1:21-25
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; 24for once he has lookedG2657 at himselfG1438 and goneG565 awayG565, 8he has immediatelyG2112 forgottenG1950 whatG3697 kindG3697 of personG3697 he was. 25But one who looksG3879 intentlyG3879 at the perfectG5046 lawG3551, 9the law of libertyG1657, and abidesG3887 by it, not having becomeG1096 a forgetfulG1953 hearerG202 but 10an effectualG2041 doerG4163, thisG3778 manG3778 will be 11blessedG3107 in 12whatG4162 he doesG4162.
