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.

New American Standard Bible 1995
22 (A)But prove yourselves 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 has looked at himself and gone away, [b]he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. 25 But one who looks intently at the perfect law, (C)the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but [c]an effectual doer, this man will be (D)blessed in [d]what he does.
