James 1:23
| ← James 1:22 | James 1:23 (KJV) | James 1:24 → |
|---|---|---|
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
|
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
|
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
