James 1:21-23
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
21 Therefore having laid-aside all filthiness and abundance[a] of badness, receive with gentleness the implanted word being able to save your souls.
But Be Doers of The Word, Not Hearers Only
22 But be[b] doers of the word and not hearers only, deluding[c] yourselves. 23 Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one is like a man considering[d] the face of his birth[e] in a mirror.
