Do
not merely listen
to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do
what it says. Anyone who listens
to the word but does not do
what it says is like someone who looks
at his face in a mirror and, after looking
at himself, goes away and immediately forgets
what he looks
like. But whoever looks
intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues
in it—not forgetting what they have heard,
but doing
it—they will be blessed
in what they do.
James 1
