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 1:22-25
