James 1:24 Context
22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers onely, deceiuing your owne selues. 23For if any be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like vnto a man beholding his naturall face in a glasse: 24For hee beholdeth himselfe, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what maner of man he was. 25But who so looketh into the perfect Law of libertie, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetfull hearer, but a doer of the worke, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 26If any man among you seeme to be religious, & bridleth not his tongue, but deceiueth his owne heart, this mans religion is vaine.
