B. Doers of the Word (1:22-25)

Ver 22. But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

Ver 23. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;

Ver 24. for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

Ver 25. But he who looks into the perfect law of freedom and continues, not being a hearer who forgets but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
