James 1:22-25
221But proveG1096 yourselves doersG4163 of the wordG3056, and not justG3441 hearersG202 who deceiveG3884 themselvesG1438. 23For ifG1487 anyoneG5100 is a hearerG202 of the wordG3056 and not a doerG4163, he isG1858 likeG1858 a manG435 who looksG2657 atG2657 his 2naturalG1078 faceG4383 3in a mirrorG2072; 24for once he has lookedG2657 atG2657 himselfG1438 and goneG565 awayG565, 4he has immediatelyG2112 forgottenG1950 whatG3697 kindG3697 ofG3697 personG3697 he was. 25But one who has lookedG3879 intentlyG3879 at the perfectG5046 lawG3551, 5the law of freedomG1657, and has continuedG3887 in it, not having becomeG1096 a forgetfulG1953 hearerG202 but 6an activeG2041 doerG4163, thisG3778 personG3778 will be 7blessedG3107 in 8whatG4162 he doesG4162.
