James 1:22 - But prove yourselves doers of the word [actively and continually obeying God’s precepts], and not merely listeners [who hear the word but fail to internalize its meaning], deluding yourselves [by unsound reasoning contrary to the truth].
James 1:23 - For if anyone only listens to the word without obeying it, he is like a man who looks very carefully at his natural face in a mirror;
James 1:24 - for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he immediately forgets what he looked like.
James 1:25 - But he who looks carefully into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and faithfully abides by it, not having become a [careless] listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he will be blessed and favored by God in what he does [in his life of obedience].
