23For ifG1487 anyoneG5100 is a hearerG202 of the wordG3056 and not a doerG4163, he is likeG1858 a manG435 who looksG2657 at his 1naturalG1078 faceG4383 2in a mirrorG2072; 24for once he has lookedG2657 at himselfG1438 and goneG565 awayG565, 3he has immediatelyG2112 forgottenG1950 whatG3697 kindG3697 of personG3697 he was. 25But one who looksG3879 intentlyG3879 at the perfectG5046 lawG3551, 4the law of libertyG1657, and abidesG3887 by it, not having becomeG1096 a forgetfulG1953 hearerG202 but 5an effectualG2041 doerG4163, thisG3778 manG3778 will be 6blessedG3107 in 7whatG4162 he doesG4162.
