    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 observing his natural face in a mirror;

    24For he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

    25But whoever looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.

    26If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is useless.
