18. James 1:22-25
But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it
says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if
you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at
your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and
forget what you look like. But if you look carefully into the
perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says
and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you
for doing it.
