James 1:22 Context
20For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousnesse of God. 21Wherefore lay apart all filthinesse, and superfluitie of naughtinesse, & receiue with meeknesse the engrafted word, which is able to saue your soules. 22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers onely, receiuing 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.
