James 1:22-25
Legacy Standard Bible
22 (A)But become doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his [a]natural face (B)in a mirror; 24 for once he looked at himself and has gone away, [b]he immediately forgot what kind of person he was. 25 But one who looks intently at the perfect law, (C)the law of freedom, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this man will be (D)blessed in [c]what he does.

Christian Standard Bible
22 But(A) be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like someone looking at his own face[a] in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person he was. 25 But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer who works—this person will be blessed in what he does.(B)
