    22But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

    23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror.

    24For he looks at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what he looks like.

    25But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres—not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—this person will be blessed in what he does.

    26If anyone thinks he is religious but does not bridle his tongue, and deceives his heart, his religion is worthless.
